What better way to celebrate than with this heart-shaped cast glass sculpture by Stanislav Libensky and Jaroslava Brychtova?

Glass artist Barry Sautner drew much of his inspiration from nature. A cameo-carved cage cup, “Red Thread of Life” combines a frosted colorless cage carved in the shape of a trellis with a cameo-carved layer of red ornament depicting two cardinals among a red trumpet vine incorporating flowers and leaves. In a list of notes that accompanied the piece, Sautner wrote, “As in ‘Rhapsody in Blue’, this piece symbolizes the fragile interdependence of all living things and the delicate balance that must be maintained between mankind and nature if all living things, including Man, are to survive.”
