SANDBERG is a geometric glass installation that recalls the shape of an iceberg, appearing to emerge from below the sand, frozen. The digitally printed sand is permanently fused in glass, merging the raw material and the image of its origin.

SANDBERG is a geometric glass installation that recalls the shape of an iceberg, appearing to emerge from below the sand, frozen. The digitally printed sand is permanently fused in glass, merging the raw material and the image of its origin.

As we look towards the future, we must ask ourselves 'what can we do protect our fragile environment?'. This sculpture is a reminder to the community that some of our practises are causing irreparable damage to our environment. We must come together to improve the future of generations to come.
