Aspire quietly carries a visual positive uplifting aura in this optical glass spire.

Aspiration is a common thread through all human history, the drive to improve on a technical or societal level is something unique to humanity, an abstract advancement from purely personal improvement.

A broad strong base supports a vertical movement of light captured in a polished optical glass spire with carved detail climbing up the edges reaching for the sky.
The transparent optical glass spire of solid glass contains transparent veils that offer an association akin to mountains as found in Chinese painting.

Aspire featured in Sally and Richard’s exhibition Inspirer Expirer at the internationally important Musee du Verre Francois Decorchemont, France in 2023.
