Contemporary Handblown Murano Glass Sculpture by Michela Cattai, Italy, 2017

About the Item

This unique glass sculpture belongs to a three-piece series called Striati, created by Michela Cattai and executed in Murano, Venice, Italy in 2017. Its asymmetrical shape recalls distant and ancestral landscapes, capturing the essence of remote eras. The fusion of lines and curves evokes a sense of perpetual motion, conveying the continuous evolution of life. The fragility of life is represented through the medium itself: glass. The transparency and luminosity of the material symbolise the delicacy and preciousness of existence. Each layer of glass is like a page in the story of life, with its imperfections and extraordinary facets. The inspiration for this work comes from an African fertility doll, which adds an element of cultural and spiritual symbolism. The curves of the sculpture recall the silhouette of this doll, celebrating fertility and the connection to ancestral roots. The Striati series invites the viewer to reflect on the fragility of life, the continuity of existence through time and the universal connection to our deepest roots.
