The Daruma Series is an exploration of Momoko's Asian fem identity and its parallels to glass. Recreating traditional Japanese symbols using gold bearing and rare colors subvert the perceived value of these rotund glass figures and their soft tones.

Kabocha, which means pumpkin in Japanese, brings a contemporary form to Daruma and pays homage to the queen of pop art. What most people don’t know is that glass pumpkins are a highly contentious topic amongst the glass community.

This piece is the first of its series.
