Here is the story of behind this art using upcycled (reusing materials in their current state) materials. With your mind's eye, envision me to be a “glass breaker”. Throughout my years, I have frequently had the tendency of accidentally breaking glassware - this would happen on a weekly basis! It is somewhat of a paradox since I happen to be very dexterous to make artwork.

One day, I broke the top of a gorgeous glass I was given for my wedding- Miséricorde! (In French: Mercy!).  It would have been a shame to throw it away!

I decided to turn my clumsiness into good use.

So, boosted with radiant inspiration, I hurried over to my collection of antique and vintage perfume bottles. What if I were to glue them together on that broken glass, hiding the place it was broken with bottles? It would be an art using upcycled materials as a sculpture, because I would reuse bottles. Well, I did get to make this assembly of colored bottles and it turned out to be a very challenging and time consuming task because of the nature of the materials to be assembled.

My failure (glass breaking habit) has been the spark of my creativity for these glass assemblages of reused bottles.
