Persona XI Uranium by MILA ZILA explores the fascinating history and unique properties of uranium glass, a material that dates back to ancient Roman times, where traces of uranium oxide were found in mosaic compositions. Renowned for its mesmerizing radiant effect, uranium glass emits a yellow-green glow, which inspired its use in the PERSONA sculptures.
In this series, uranium glass serves as both a material and a metaphor, emphasizing the fluid, organic nature of molten glass and its interaction with clean, minimalist forms. The process contrasts the production of identical, perfectly shaped vases with the creation of singular, free-flowing pieces. Each object evolves naturally, guided by the material’s intrinsic properties and the artist’s gentle intervention, resulting in truly one-of-a-kind forms.
This creative approach reflects the essence of individuality: the tension between conforming to predefined molds and the freedom to grow instinctively, layer by layer, into an authentic and unique identity. Persona XI Uranium captures this duality, blending material innovation with profound philosophical insight.
This vase is handmade from uranium glass and can be used as a classic vase for large bouquets, but remember it is very heavy.
