Anna-Kaisa Kukkonen-Madi. H A K O Driftwood

H A K O Driftwood, a sculpture in driftwood and glass, brings together two natural elements currently at risk: ancient forests and pristine waters.
The work reveals an invisible underwater world, embodying the journey of drifting wood and the fragile balance of aquatic ecosystems. Through the light refracted by the glass, the sculpture comes to life, evoking the complex relationship between nature, transformation, and memory.

Anna-Kaisa Kukkonen-Madi (Finland, 1964) is a glass artist whose practice draws inspiration from pure water and natural phenomena.
«I seek to find the soul of a phenomenon and translate it into glass; glass is the mysterious interpreter of my memories».
She works with a team of professional glassblowers in Riihimäki, emphasizing the purity of form and the uniqueness of the material.
