Any opening or perforation, orifice or fenestra, especially through a bone, and may serve as a passage for muscles, nerves, blood vessels, or other anatomical structures. Foramen is the result of 3 years of research focusing on the inside and the outside of the body. This body of work has been exhibited in the Museum of Glass Art in Ebeltoft and the Contemporary Art Museum in Bornholm, Denmark in 2023.

Glass pieces laid out across a white table and steel bench in the studio
A glass piece resting on an anatomical pencil drawing outdoors
Hands cradling a frosted glass vessel with a pink interior
A row of pink glass domes with red cores on white cloth, a hand reaching in
A blowpipe with molten pink glass gathered at its end, in the studio
Hands holding a pink and amber glass form against a dark ground
Three small pieces on white: a red shard, a pale disc, a frosted disc with a red ruffle
