Autumn arrives in quiet arcs: a leaf drifts down, a ripple forms on water, sunlight turns amber. And there is a moment in autumn when the world exhales. Leaves loosen their grip, water stills into quiet mirrors, and the air carries a gentler kind of light.
At Glass Forest, this fleeting season has always felt like an invitation-to watch more closely, listen more softly, and understand how nature moves not in sudden shifts, but in ripples.
Our three signature works-Koi Pond, Ripple & Flight and Fallen Leaves-celebrate water’s subtle dance with metal and glass, each one tuned to the rhythms of the season.
Koi Pond - Where Memory Swims in Circles in summer
In Koi Pond, spectrum glass opens like a tranquil pool-blue, green, shifting without warning-while sculpted brass koi glide above it in gentle arcs. The stainless-steel rods that hold them aloft disappear into the shimmer, making it seem as though the koi are suspended between reflection and reality.
As autumn deepens, this installation feels especially tender, as we reflect back to the summer of our lives. The koi look as if they are circling through a memory-round and round-each ripple telling you that change can be gentle, cyclical, unhurried- and summer would soon be here
Ripple & Flight - The Moment Before the Sky Opens after monsoon
Ripple & Flight begins with the same rippled-glass stillness, but something different happens here: movement rises upward. The brass birds hover not in mid-air, but in mid-thought-caught in that breath just before taking flight. Will it rain before they reach their nest? This installation carries a different kind of anticipation-one that belongs to the monsoon.
There is a particular moment before rain arrives in India:
the sky darkens just a shade,
the air thickens,
and birds gather in a hush that feels almost reverent.
They rise not to migrate, but to greet the storm.
In Ripple & Flight, the brass birds are suspended in that exact breath before the first drop falls. Their wings tilt upward, eager yet unhurried, as though they can already feel the cool wind sweeping across the water. The rippled glass beneath them seems to vibrate with possibility-the way ponds quiver when the first raindrop kisses the surface.
This installation becomes a mirror of that monsoon magic: flight not as escape, but as welcome. A gentle choreography between sky and water.
Fallen Leaves - A Love Letter to Letting Go
And then comes Fallen Leaves-the most autumnal of them all.
Here, glass ripples become a gentle pond on which brass leaves have just come to rest. They look weightless, surrendered, perfectly still-and yet the ripples beneath them suggest that only a moment ago, they were in motion.
It is a portrait of the season itself: a tender acceptance of change, a willingness to let go without losing beauty. The leaves aren’t drifting anymore, but they still tell the story of the journey that brought them here.
Three Styles, One Language
What ties these installations together is not simply the use of rippled glass-it’s the shifting metal and sculptural elements. In Koi Pond, brass koi swim through glass waves. In Ripple & Flight, the aircraft of metal raise wings over water. In Fallen Leaves, the leaves themselves are the protagonists. Each style speaks a dialect of the same language: water, change, reflection.
As for glass, it doesn’t merely exist-it transforms light. Candle glow, daylight through windows, the hush after rain: all become part of the scene. The metal elements-brass, stainless steel-catch light too, giving weight. Together, the installations feel alive. They don’t hang on walls; they live there.
If we were poets, this is how our anthology of poetry will look like.
