The light sculptures by Michal Korchowiec are made out of precious, vintage, glass lampshades dating from the 1920s – to the 1980s. A combination of many unique glass elements creates stable and closed-shaped glass sculptures. Yet the object's shape is as important as the unusual colors of the visible light. What’s at the heart of the objects are glass filters made out of colored utility glass, changing the visible color of the light of one bulb – thanks to this, we can influence the light and emotions that each object evokes.
