Inspired by the delicate and visually captivating Nigiri Ikura, this glass sculpture offers a vibrant and poetic interpretation of the iconic dish.
The base of the sculpture mimics the perfectly formed oval of sushi rice, crafted from milky white or frosted glass with subtle, intricate textures suggesting individual grains of rice.
Dominating the piece are clusters of glossy, translucent orange spheres, each painstakingly shaped to capture the vibrant, jewel-like orange hue of salmon roe (ikura). These spheres shimmer under light, creating a dynamic play of transparency and reflection, mirroring the delicate 'pop' of the ikura when eaten.
An abstract interpretation of curving of deep green glass seaweed wraps around the base, reminiscent of the nori seaweed band that traditionally secures the roe, providing a striking contrast to the vibrant orange and white elements.
The sculpture can be presented in various ways to highlight its beauty and intricate detail. It could be displayed on a minimalist platter, allowing the vibrant colors and forms to stand out.
Alternatively, it could be elevated on a small stand, inviting closer inspection of the intricate details and the interplay of light on the glass.
The use of glass as a medium adds to the piece's allure, making it both a celebration of Japanese culinary artistry and a stunning example of modern glass art.
