FLORENCE
GLASS ART

Florence Ng’s People, a monumental sculpture standing at four meters high, embodies the core values of human connection amidst the ever-growing influence of technology. Commissioned for Seagate Technology’s R&D center, the piece eloquently captures the essence of teamwork and collaboration through its abstract representation of figures in conversation. The structure features two rows of curled concrete pillars, symbolizing the dynamic interaction between individuals, with blown glass heads shaped like distant planets, marbled with glass paint to evoke a sense of personality and vitality.

The artwork's handmade approach reflects Florence Ng's unique vision, with a light, organic feel achieved by using a skeleton structure covered in plastered concrete. The lighted glass spheres evoke 'light-bulb' moments, symbolizing inspiration and innovation. People transcends its physicality, offering a profound reminder of the enduring importance of human relationships in driving progress and creativity.
