María Magdalena Campos-Pons

Reservoir for Love (2024)

Mouth blown Murano Glass, stainless steel
dimension variable

<p>Afro-Cuban artist Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons‘ glass mobile sculpture depicts love’s fragility and expansiveness. Created in collaboration with the Fondazione Berengo in Murano, Italy, using traditional glass techniques, each piece in the sculpture is one-of-a-kind, featuring diverse textures and colors. The work serves as a tribute to love—radical, unlimited, yet contained. Campos-Pons, who has been working with glass since 1963, continues her constant exploration of the material and themes in her art, which are always in flux and reflection. This sculpture is a reminder of the possibility of healing through love as an unconditional source of reparation and the hope of blooming collectively. The sculpture was showcased at the „GLASSTRESS 8½“ exhibition at Fondazione Berengo in 2024.</p>
