The Roman Aqueducts were Infested with Birds (2026) by Indio Möglich is a sculptural glass vessel that combines classical forms with intricate decorative elements. Crafted from opaque, ivory-coloured glass, the work features a rounded upper body tapering towards a narrow foot, with two translucent handles extending from its shoulders.
The surface is adorned with gold luster decorations depicting birds in flight, their finely detailed wings and feathers contrasting with the smooth, pale glass. Additional ornamental elements appear around the handles and base, introducing subtle variations in colour, texture and form.
Drawing on the visual language of ancient Mediterranean pottery and decorative glassware, Möglich reinterprets the traditional two-handled vessel through contemporary glassmaking. The work brings together sculptural form, historical references and detailed craftsmanship, transforming a familiar vessel shape into a distinctive contemporary object.
