"I shape glass so light remains and the moment shifts."
Kenichi Sasakawa's vessels hold an atmospheric stillness. Distinguished by a soft grey-blue hue and the deliberate suspension of air bubbles, each piece is a record of precision shaped in shifting heat— where the immediacy of handwork meets the volatile nature of molten glass. These bubbles act as quiet prisms, refracting light and lending the work a subtle, sculptural presence.
Rejecting the cold perfection of industrial production, Sasakawa sought a more intuitive relationship with glass, one that feels natural in the hand and grounded in human scale. His practice focuses on crafting vessels that resonate with their surroundings, revealing the subtleties of breath, light, and temperature. Through repetition and observation, he arrives at forms that are neither ornamental nor clinical, but sensorial and alive. Each object is meant to be lived with, offering a soft presence that shifts gently with time and use.
