Uranium Block 68 connects material weight with historical resonance. A solid block of uranium glass pierces a brutalist concrete form, its green glow appearing both contained and unsettling. Beneath it, a two-toned epoxy base forms a layered ground recalling geological strata, artificial foundations, or the memory of a place. The title refers to the Prague Spring of 1968 - a moment of both liberation and repression in the history of Czechoslovakia. The work preserves a latent glow, as if carrying within it a history that remains partly buried and yet continues to shine through.
