Full transparency: the everyday art of glassware

For several years now, artist Eunkyoung Son, who lives in Seoul, has explored her fascination with glass in a series of striking illustrations. The fine art graduate depicts of all kinds of glassware with oil pencils and acrylic paint, from champagne flutes to tumblers, focusing on finding beauty in the everyday. "Glass has a different colour or shape depending on the angle," she says. "I love that it distorts the things behind it, not reflecting them in its form directly. It feels so fun to express it two-dimensionally on paper."
