The artist uses glass waste, old destroyed forms from the glassworks, branches and tree bark. What appears as nothing – mere garbage – becomes the raw material for valuable sculptures, echoing the ancient alchemical dream of transforming the mundane into gold. The artist cares about respecting the dwindling resources of nature – trees from which short-lived forms for the glass industry are made.

Aleksandra Kujawska (Poland, 1976) is an artist who moves freely in both utility and artistic glass, using various glass techniques,
including her own. In her work, she uses objects considered waste, which become a source of inspiration, part of a new sculptural work.
The artist has won numerous awards, and her works are in museum collections. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts of Glass. Currently a Phd candidate.
