Light, Transparency, and the Reinvention of Glass
“The interplay of articulations and combinations of elements is truly surprising as an innovation, and shows that Debora conducts her work with mastery of the means, extracting unusual revelations from it.
And for the interplay of light, transparency, and translucency to fully materialize, rigorous treatment is necessary. Industrial glass, with its varied functions and destinies, in Debora’s hands, beyond its visual appeal, creates a stimulus for tactile approach of great sensuality.
Her pieces are made for serial production, but in limited editions. Each piece deserves care as if it were unique, and this attitude is perhaps responsible for a result that, in addition to fulfilling its original function as a light fixture, achieves the status of an art object.
Vítrea is the exhibition of an artist who has been facing the challenge of constant innovation.”
