This dynamic glass piece embodies the raw power and beauty of a solar flare. Crafted from a combination of yellow and ruby glass fused over a clear gather in an 1,800-degree furnace, the molten glass is meticulously tooled into the shape of a solar prominence, with flowing arches and roiling plasma that mimic the intense energy of a solar mass ejection.

After reheating, the material is blown into a cherry wood mold and shaped into a splash configuration, capturing the dramatic movement of solar energy in motion. Solar flares, like the historic event on September 1, 1859, release the energy equivalent of 160 billion megatons of TNT, sending shockwaves that can ignite auroras as far south as Hawaii. This piece is a tribute to the awe-inspiring power of the sun and the dramatic force of nature's cosmic displays
