"Colors, much like the spectrum of a rainbow, play an enchanting role in Alana Biffert's glass creations. Each hue she employs is a brushstroke in the canvas of her art, symbolizing the diversity and vibrancy of life itself. Just as a rainbow emerges after a storm, colors in glass art are a testament to the interplay of light and matter. They exist because of the way light interacts with the glass, refracting and reflecting, revealing the hidden beauty within. Biffert's art captures this dance of colors, inviting viewers to contemplate the profound harmony that emerges when nature, light, and human creativity intertwine—a visual symphony that mirrors the awe-inspiring spectrum of life's experiences."
