Made entirely of recycled glass olive oil jars, this work highlights the intrinsic qualities of industrial glass as a raw material for artistic expression. Deconstructed and reassembled, the jars take on new life and new meaning independent of their previous function. Jewish tradition teaches "Do not look at the jar, rather at what it contains." These pieces challenge that notion, inviting us to consider the jar itself and its creative potential.

Stefanie Jadd Susnow (b. Usa, 1984) is a glass artist, using recycled glass to make unique sculptural pieces. Born and raised in the US, she began her artistic practice only after moving to Jerusalem as a mother of 4. During her studies at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, she focused in stained glass, developing a new technique working 3 dimensionally with recycled glass objects.
