Authors

Exceptional authors. One extraordinary challenge.

Glass Soul continues to collaborate with new, prominent figures from the Czech and international art, design, and cultural scenes.

Glass artists, sculptors, painters, photographers, jewelry designers, fashion designers, architects, and other creative professionals are participating in the project. Each of them has the opportunity to explore the themes of departure, memory, remembrance, and the continuation of relationships through their own artistic language.

For many artists, “Glass Soul” marks their very first encounter with glass, funerary art, or funeral themes.

It is precisely by crossing disciplinary boundaries that we gain new perspectives.

Traditional cast sculpture enters into a dialogue with photography, painting, drawing, architecture, fashion, metalwork, and jewelry-making techniques. The result is a collection of unique glass urns, artist-designed urns, designer urns, funeral glass, commemorative glass, memorial objects, and artistic relics.

In this way , Glass Soul creates a collection that is not static. It is constantly growing, and with each new author, it gains a new perspective, story, and cultural context.
