Inspired by Harvard’s nineteenth-century Blaschka Glass Flowers—masterworks uniting art, science, and meticulous craft—Bozic reimagines their legacy for a contemporary moment. The Blaschkas’ work arose from a culture that valued patience, precision, and close observation; this series extends that ethos through imaginative forms shaped by shifting modes of perception.

Each painting depicts a fictional organism rendered in acrylic on maple panel to echo the delicacy and translucence of glass. Though invented, these forms follow the internal logic of deep-sea, botanical, and microscopic life—bioluminescent, intricate, and subtly uncanny—suggesting possibilities just beyond what can be seen.

Their ambiguity reflects a moment when distinctions between natural forms and human-made images have become harder to discern. Technically demanding to create, the works consider the devotion embedded in close looking and the enduring relationship between scientific inquiry and artistic imagination.

By continuing the Blaschkas’ lineage of wonder and preservation, Glass Flowers reflects on how attention keeps fragile truths visible and how imagination can expand our sense of what the living world might hold.
