Wang Qin

Glass is a fertile medium, which can be sculpted to capture a moment in time, creating unlimited possibilities. I respect glass as a material and don't want to control it. I try to talk to the glass and understand it; merge with it to achieve an utterly harmonious connection between my heart and the material.
