Summary
Lilla Tabasso creates hyperrealistic botanical sculptures from Murano glass, currently exhibited at Fondazione Dries Van Noten's inaugural exhibition in Venice. Her work captures the melancholy of botanical decay by meticulously sculpting every petal, leaf, stem, and root from glass using traditional lampworking techniques, creating installations that initially appear to be living gardens before revealing themselves as entirely glass creations.
