About the Project

In Joseph D'Alesandro's faceted glass artwork, silhouettes of people are expressively rendered to communicate a variety of emotions and feelings. The shapes of figures are created in colors that convey culture, nationality, ethnicity and individuality. “Homage” contains geometric shapes that form the background of the work, distinguishing the foreground from the background. D’Alesandro strove to communicate mood and feeling within a down-to-earth composition that uses vivid colors to portray the vibrant community who it honors.
