Flower-Glass-fall

When I saw this impressive installation (in Hilton Gdansk) the first thoughts that jumped into my mind were: "this is a waterfall, except there is no water". Eventually I have realized that it is made of glass and that the glass takes the shape of flowers. It is huge in size yet very delicate. The work is hanging from the ceiling into the main space of the hotel so one can view it from the lobby and from the glass elevator traveling next to it. 

 

The artist, Edyta Baranska, calls the work "Sea Flowers” - light installation. Here's some information from her website:


"This chandelier spans over seven meters in length and fifteen in height. It consists of 22000 handmade glass petals woven onto a nine kilometer long webbing of fiber optics. At night the installation floods the lobby below with a wave of light that oscillates in the RGB color spectrum."

"More than 6000 glass petals tinkle above the reception desk. The petals are suspended on fiber optics, but additional power led lamps are employed in order to achieve sufficient light on the counter top."
