Maria Lugossy was born in 1950 in Budapest, Hungary. She studied metal sculpture at the Academy of Applied Fine Arts, and after graduation, began to exhibit works in glass; today, she is considered her country's leading glass artist. In this piece, plates of glass cut in free form were layered and bonded. Buried within this stratified form were the chest and back of a human figure, cast in bronze. The form was split into two parts, making it seem as if these human fragments were floating up to the surface. The placement of this disturbing image within the beauty of semi-transparent glass lends the work its mood of disquiet. Shown in The Suntory Prize'96, it won the Special Prize.
