A blown glass vessel features a thick, cylindrical base of polished black glass. Translucent sapphire blue glass rises from the foundation in a swirling motion, flaring into dozens of thin, vertical filaments. These tapered threads radiate upward, each ending in a small, rounded tip. The form transitions from thick waves at the bottom to delicate, needle-like structures at the top, suggesting aquatic growth.
