Stellar Dust is about light, the perception of space and the fleeting beauty that is a basic principle of the Universe. This unique constellation is created from 727 mouth-blown crystal droplets, hanging individually from the ceiling. Each has its own lighting source that is integral to the two cosmic waves sweeping through the entrance hall of Prague’s J&T Bank. These hand-crafted droplets are complemented by 2476 crystal components forming the organic shape of the installation. Optical illusions and the remarkable effects of these crystal objects perfectly juxtapose the regular architectural structures of the building.
