Born in 1985, Sachi Fujikake is a Japanese contemporary glass artist. Her works capture the moment when heated glass begins to move and morph, while retaining vestiges of its original form. Likewise, boldly defy the traditional qualities of glass toward realms unchartered, transforming the material into ripples in both time and space.

Entitled Vestige, Sachi Fujikake glass sculptures capture the remains of what is left behind, the beauty of glass as it is fundamentally changed from a hard material into something soft, in many ways capturing the preciousness of time itself as its continuum is bent, twisted and expanded into surrealistic forms of great beauty. Organic and free-flowing, crumpled yet inflated, while imbued with a translucently luscious radiance, Sachi Fujikake's works are spellbinding poems to an innovative new style of abstraction in glass.

After sandblasting her trademark dots onto the surfaces of her layered sheets of white glass, Sachi Fujikake further melts and connects 6 separate glass sheets together within a glory hole to comprise an essentially three-dimensional polygon. After this basic form is created, Sachi Fujikake then begins to blow air into the cube, thereby helping to warp, inflate and transform the rigid glass into something soft and fluid. Such voluptuously seductive curvatures cannot be achieved by the use of sheet glass alone, and it is the aforementioned ingenious and wildly original combination of various glass techniques–kiln-working, sand-blasting, and blowing glass, that has made Sachi Fujikake one of the frontrunners of an entirely new way of approaching the realm of glass art in the 21st century.
