Commission a work like this
This original has been collected and will never be reproduced. Yasin can create a completely new work from your own photographs, with the same hand-fractured technique.
Lifetime artist care
If the work is damaged in normal use in the years after delivery, Yasin repairs it in person, wherever it hangs. Only travel and accommodation are paid by the collector; natural disasters such as fire or flood, and deliberate damage, are not covered.
Care & display
Laminated safety glass holds together even when cracked, so the work is safe to hang and handle. Hang it where a single directional light — a spot or a window — rakes across the surface; the fractures change as you move.
About the work
Perseus needed a mirror to face her. You won’t.
Medusa Gaze is an original broken glass artwork handcrafted by Yasin Uca. Created on 13 May 2025, this one-of-one broken glass artwork reimagines Medusa — the only mortal Gorgon, whose gaze turned flesh to stone — through intentional fracture on laminated safety glass.
Several hundred controlled hammer strikes transform cold glass into a surface that demands to be looked at, and dares you not to look away. This unique glass artwork captures the tension between beauty and danger — each crack amplifying the power of her gaze. Read more in The philosophy behind the Mythology series.
Framed in a black 6063 aluminium frame. A single original that will never be recreated.
