CUMULAR(IA), is a wall installation made of recycled glass, repurposed from the remnants of another artwork creation by Columbian-Mexican glass artist Luisa Restrepo. She transformes these discarded leftovers into a beautiful piece, giving new life to what was once considered waste.
By lifting debris from past into future possibilities, the work is a journey through memory and material development, in a parallel story, that connects the act of making the first (principal) piece with the surprise and wonder of another artwork emerging.
