Karesansui series﹟1 is inspired by the artist's fascination for Japanese dry gardens. These gardens can be found around Buddhist temples, where you can observe an atmosphere of meditation and contemplation which ensures a divine relationship with the gods. The carefully scraped gravel represents scenic elements of nature. This project of sculptural vases embodies a feeling of space and infinity of time.Tracing and movement are the leitmotif of the entire series.

Camille Jacobs (b. Belgium, 1963) lives and works in Luxembourg. It is through a long process of experimentation that Jacobs has developed her passion for this complex and unpredictable medium that is glass. Trained in contemporary stained glass at the Luca School of Arts in Ghent, her interest for flat glass evolved to three-dimensional objects with refined forms and often geometric concepts. She draws inspiration from the surrounding nature, art history and colour theory. She was awarded the Naoto Yokoyama Prize for glass in Kanazawa and her pieces are exhibited in private and public collections.
