The Glass Soul / Pietas collection opened its first exhibition at the UPM, which took place from 17 May - 17 September 2023. A total of 21 leading Czech artists from various disciplines presented their concept of fused sculpture presented in commemorative boxes. These are traditionally used to hold the ashes of the deceased, but can also serve as beautiful art objects that preserve the memory of a loved one in your home. You can store not only the ashes of the deceased in glass sculptures, but also, for example, their letters, jewellery, or other items that you hold dear to your memories. The objects can travel with you, moving around as "mobile tombs, memorial altars".
