  • The Beauty O F Glass Lasvit Pro Jects 2020 / V Olume II Pro Jects
    The Beauty of Glass Projects Lasvit Projects 2020 / Volume II ˚ Beauty has not been here for a mere ten years. It's been here since time immemorial, long before we began to worship it. It emerges, nurtures, fades. The motion power of the universe, of the planet, of the people. Of you and of me, of all life in all its forms. Sparks in the eyes, inner flame, flames of passion, jealousy, eruptions on the Sun, invisible signals, floods of emotions. Not belonging to anyone, including us - the handful of devotees spreading the message in its name. Just what is the Czech Republic and the few worldwide branches? These few hundred years of glassmaking tradition, those masters of the craft, this Leon Jakimič? What is design, or art? Who has the right to take themselves so seriously, to place their ego above nature, and impose their judgement on beauty? On the way it’s supposed to look, and on the way it’s supposed to be viewed. No, no one, not even you. Mere mastering the change of state - it’s only sand, and then glass. Arts, procedures, nonsense about energy, wasting it or saving it. Market manipulations and light-speed races in disciplines that do not nor ever did exist. Intro Prologue Let it be, it’s already set. Try to be free. Let live coincidences, moods, feelings, and emotions. Smiles and astonishment. Eyes narrowed or wide open. All the rays, flashes - data, if you will. Stories. Hearts aflame, even if uncomfortable. Yes, even laughter, tears, and magic. It’s not about us, we’re only trying for the light beaming somewhere to make an imprint.
