Seeking to move beyond surface expression, she turned to a formative personal experience—her long-held complex about her body, and the physical and emotional toll of extreme dieting during adolescence. In Japan, where media-driven ideals often frame body fat as undesirable, she, too, was deeply influenced by these values. Through this work, she transforms what was once a source of insecurity—fat—into the translucent strength of glass, as a way of questioning and releasing fixed societal notions of beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbout Haruna Sugie: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBorn in 1997 in Aichi, Japan.

Through materials such as glass and mirrors, she examines the boundaries between self and other, and between the visible and the invisible.

This work seeks to create a moment that prompts a renewed reflection on the self. By wearing mirrored surfaces, the body incorporates one’s own image, the surrounding environment, and everything reflected within it. This reveals how the self emerges through relationships with others and its environment, while the distorted reflections suggest the ambiguity and instability of all that surrounds us. The reflected image of the self remains inherently uncertain, resisting fixed definition. This instability, along with the subtle dissonance produced by distortion, visualizes the fluidity of self-perception—disrupting the identities we unconsciously fix, and inviting a reconsideration of the self. Through these overlapping effects, the work functions as a device that allows “the self” to be experienced not as something fixed, but as something that arises through relationships with environment, others, and time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbout Haruna Sugie: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBorn in 1997 in Aichi, Japan.

Sugie creates both wearable works and spatial objects as extensions of the same line of inquiry. Through materials such as glass and mirrors, she examines the boundaries between self and other, and between the visible and the invisible. Through the properties of glass—transparency, reflection, and distortion—her practice further seeks to reconsider the formation and perception of the self within the evershifting conditions of contemporary society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haruna Sugie","offers":[{"title":"Style 1","offer_id":51253799682084,"sku":null,"price":138.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Style 2","offer_id":51253799714852,"sku":null,"price":138.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Style 3","offer_id":51253799747620,"sku":null,"price":148.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Style 4","offer_id":51253799780388,"sku":null,"price":148.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Style 5","offer_id":51253799813156,"sku":null,"price":148.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Style 6","offer_id":51253799845924,"sku":null,"price":158.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Style 7","offer_id":51253799878692,"sku":null,"price":158.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Style 8","offer_id":51253799911460,"sku":null,"price":158.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Style 9","offer_id":51253799944228,"sku":null,"price":168.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Style 10","offer_id":51253799976996,"sku":null,"price":168.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Style 11","offer_id":51253800009764,"sku":null,"price":168.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Style 12","offer_id":51253800042532,"sku":null,"price":188.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Style 13","offer_id":51253800075300,"sku":null,"price":188.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/4599\/0436\/files\/B4B8B42C-5B17-4142-8FB4-B6A51D7E02E92.jpg?v=1786600551"},{"product_id":"haruna-sugie-sugata-silver-mirror-glass-ear-cuffs","title":"Haruna Sugie - SUGATA Silver Mirror Glass Ear Cuffs","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct name: SUGATA Silver Mirror Glass Ear Cuffs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist: Haruna Sugie (杉江はるな)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Borosilicate glass, pure silver mirror coating\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTechnique: Lampworking (solid work, blownwork)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes: One-of-a-kind creation, only one size per style\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eNotes: Each piece of accessory will be gift wrapped in the original gift boxes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHandcrafted in Tokyo, Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMessages from Haruna Sugie:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe appreciate if you could take a moment to read the following care instructions before wearing your piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe top part of this jewellery piece functions as a mirror.

This work seeks to create a moment that prompts a renewed reflection on the self. By wearing mirrored surfaces, the body incorporates one’s own image, the surrounding environment, and everything reflected within it. This reveals how the self emerges through relationships with others and its environment, while the distorted reflections suggest the ambiguity and instability of all that surrounds us. The reflected image of the self remains inherently uncertain, resisting fixed definition. This instability, along with the subtle dissonance produced by distortion, visualizes the fluidity of self-perception—disrupting the identities we unconsciously fix, and inviting a reconsideration of the self. Through these overlapping effects, the work functions as a device that allows “the self” to be experienced not as something fixed, but as something that arises through relationships with environment, others, and time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbout Haruna Sugie: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBorn in 1997 in Aichi, Japan. Lives and works in Tokyo. Sugie is a glass artist whose practice explores the interrelationship between the body, emotion, and perception. She began studying lampworking at Khan Glass Works in 2019. She received her BFA in Glass from the Department of Crafts and Industrial Design at Musashino Art University in 2022, and completed her MFA in Glass at the Graduate School of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts in 2024. Working primarily with lampworking techniques using an oxygen burner, each piece is meticulously handcrafted. Her work engages with the inherent tension between fragility and strength within glass, expressing it as a metaphor for the delicate equilibrium that resides within human existence. Sugie creates both wearable works and spatial objects as extensions of the same line of inquiry. Through materials such as glass and mirrors, she examines the boundaries between self and other, and between the visible and the invisible. Through the properties of glass—transparency, reflection, and distortion—her practice further seeks to reconsider the formation and perception of the self within the evershifting conditions of contemporary society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haruna Sugie","offers":[{"title":"Style 1","offer_id":51253878685732,"sku":null,"price":288.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Style 2","offer_id":51253878718500,"sku":null,"price":288.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Style 3","offer_id":51253878751268,"sku":null,"price":288.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Style 4","offer_id":51253878784036,"sku":null,"price":288.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/4599\/0436\/files\/A8EF382E-0519-4237-B966-235A5EB4F6193.jpg?v=1786601487"}],"url":"https:\/\/kurashicrafts.com\/collections\/haruna-sugie.oembed","provider":"Kurashi Japanese Crafts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
