Process and knowledge, work and time, visibility and invisibility are some of the overlapping stories that inspire Rosita to create her mesmerizing immersive installations. In her work she puts the process of glass blowing at the center of her installations by using sound, video, glass art and projections
With the unique qualities of glass, Rosita strives to tell different stories where light, shadows, reflections and refractions play central roles, while emphasizing the presence and invisibility of the maker. She often inserts herself or other creators as narrators into her work through video or audio, which initiates an intellectual discourse beyond the matter and makes viewers immerse themselves in the underlying layers and creative processes.
