As with all of Ohira’s work, there is no improvisation here: the vase translates one of his precise watercolour designs into glass, realised in collaboration with master glassmakers in Murano. The intricate structure of canes and colour fields showcases Ohira’s ability to push traditional Venetian techniques toward a distinctly personal language, where glass can evoke stone, ivory or the gentle movement of the lagoon itself. 'Laguna' thus stands as both an homage to Venice and a testament to Ohira’s refined, meditative approach to contemporary glass.
