Scorpion

A string of Murano glass spheres, decorated with watermarks and sprinkled with powdered glass, curl up like a scorpion's tail. The trompe l'oeil effect, inspired by Kandinsky's method of concealing subtle truths within his works, is a metaphor for life: we look into the object, we believe we can put our hand inside it, we see two objects when in reality there is only one. Glass enables Pascale to create this effect, as its mass is so transparent it conveys the impression of emptiness.
