Inspired by the spirit of play and precision, this sculpture is composed entirely of pure glass, each cube equal in size and unified in form. At first, the metallic shine might fool you, but as you move closer, the illusion fades and the true nature of glass is revealed, reflective, dynamic, and full of unexpected depth.

Active in Egypt’s plastic arts scene since 2000, he has held five solo exhibitions, participated in 40 group shows, and exhibited internationally in Italy, Bulgaria, and Turkey. Since 2007, he has focused entirely on glass art, creating abstract and figurative works using transparent, opaque, and colored glass, often incorporating silver and gold. His art emphasizes human themes beyond aesthetics. His work is in the Museum of Modern Art in Egypt, the British and Czech Embassies, the Glass Museum in Sofia, Bulgaria (2024), and private collections worldwide. Waked’s art begins with an idea that fuels his passion and desire to share emotions. He uses glass for its transparency and fluidity, which allow him to shape emptiness itself, unlike traditional materials. Working with glass requires skill and adaptability, but despite its challenges, he strives for simplicity and impact in his expression.
