When I read the topic, the sculptor Dale Chihuly came up to my mind. People might not know who he is, however I’m assuming that students from CMU are really familiar with his artworks.

Fiori Di Como – Dale Chihuly

His works are created by glass, and his works are located in more than 200 different places. He started to make glassblowing art in late 1960s, and he was so amazed by how random shapes of small glass pieces form another one beautiful art piece. His artworks do have random shapes, however when they are all arranged together I am amazed how they are shown as a whole new pattern. He used many different colors but these created whole harmony.

This video is showing the working process of his artwork.
