Final imagery from photoshoot of the latest project 'Resilience in Glass' proudly worn by Andre Mariano .

The project
Meticulously crafted from blown glass with an intricate metal framework and accents. The centrepiece is a metal spine that references the nervous system. With several separate glass chambers and connecting hoses- smoke fills the negative space . This aspect serves as a powerful metaphor for the absence of a limb ,and the complex sensations associated with phantom pain. As well as referencing the power of healing.
