Sophie and Guillaume describe their glass sculptor activity as follows : ". Our work is inspired by Nature but also by Architecture. We feel it as a journey in a romantic Oriental park, reflecting our harmony and the love of materials such as rare woods and cast glass... » Starting from a Western culture, very much found of the Chinese culture and people, through their glass sculptures Sophie and Guillaume Le Penher invite the viewers to come across the bridge between the Western and Oriental civilization.
