"This time I made a glass jellyfish.
The bench burner I use allows me to connect glass rods to create artwork.
It is not possible to make it big all at once, but rather it has to be grown little by little, bit by bit, over time. This behavior is like the way I have lived my life. I worry a lot, make choices, and move on.
I want to live my life like a jellyfish, constantly changing and spinning into new forms."
