Made from wood and silvered glass, Fragma is a sculpture that challenges the traditional concept of the mirror. Though designed for wall mounting, the piece leaves the mirror structure fully exposed, avoiding the conventional wooden frame, inviting viewers to consider the mirror as something more than a neutral reflective surface. The glass panel intersects with the hand-carved wooden form in a way that reveals what is usually hidden – the reverse side of the mirror.

The overlapping silver layers create effects ranging from reflective surfaces to semi-transparency and full transparency, allowing the intricacies of the sculpted maple wood to emerge through the glass. The wood is finished with ink, graphite, and French polish, with subtle tonal variations that catch light, while the black surface balances between matt and gloss. The interplay between glass and wood establishes a balanced dialogue of tension and interdependence.

Fragma was created in collaboration with P55 Mirrors as part of the KOOPERACJE project, co-financed by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland as part of the Creative Sectors Development Program, implemented by the Centre for the Development of Creative Industries.
