"Everlasting"
30x50 cm, glassfusing, unique, 2021, signed and made by Petra Karlsson.
"I started working on this pieces, with the different colours and placed them next to each other so each colour would have its own special place. In the middle, the white pieces started taking shape as an bison. The image came to me of the bison in north America. An animal specie that have lived for thousands of years and will hopefully continue to do so. Which started the thought process of life and immortality. We are all mortal, but can leave something immortal after us. An act, an idea, an object, a discovery. The possibility and beauty of being human."
