Breaking the Glass Ceiling

Artist creates striking portrait of Kamala Harris by shattering glass.

Artist Simon Berger creates striking portraits by shattering glass. Sitting atop a fresh pane and brandishing a hammer, he makes strategic taps onto the surface to produce spider web-like motifs and render a three-dimensional form. The artist likes to create beautiful things through destruction.

Berger created a shattered glass portrait of @VP Kamala Harris in just one day. It was displayed at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., earlier this year. This medium is particularly fitting for Harris as she shattered the proverbial glass ceiling by being the first female, first Black person and first Asian American to hold the title of Vice President.
