[Reflective]
This collection consists of wall art mirrors created through a collaboration with the stained glass studio AZ CREW, exploring the potential of glass through two distinct approaches.

The first piece combines Showa-era patterned glass—a material no longer in production—with German hand-blown glass, and is meticulously handcrafted by stained glass artisans, one piece at a time. The second piece uses original recycled glass, made by melting and reforming offcuts. By finely controlling the temperature, it achieves a unique texture defined by layered irregularities and subtle distortions.

Both works embody arve’s philosophy of carrying materials embedded with memory into the future.
