Original artwork description:

Circle In A Square addresses the difficulty in forcing something that just doesn't fit. Can you put a circle in a square comfortably?
The use of materials — glass, which is hard and sharp, is contrasted with thread, which is soft and delicate — reinforces the contrast between the circle and the square. This contrast of opposites pushes discomfort and the effort to force something that isn't meant to be.

Materials used:

Smalti (italian glass), acrylic paint, thread
