Ataraxia are a series of unique works that aim to evoke a sense of stillness and quiet contemplation. Layers of coloured glass define an internal space of solid optically clear polished glass. The work is an invitation to pause for a moment and look a little deeper, offering a moment of serene tranquillity and the sensation of one form floating within another. A vessel that concurrently suggests both depth and buoyancy.
