The project aims to create a sense of intimate privacy that invites “under the skin” themes. The project has a distinctive domination with distinct identities and relating to the identity of the Morská Panda. Such feelings have been embedded in the blog morskapanda.tumblr.com. Subsequently, the recorded experiences have come back to life in the form of the objects in the installation, using it’s own sea-latex combined with glass.

A year away from the glass industry with the freedom to access different techniques and expand my skills, especially in the digital sphere, has opened up possibilities of different perceptions of my work. Long-term processing of my own blog morskapanda.tumblr.com, which over time transformed into a visual diary, has been recorded throughout the year in various stages and experiences. Just as changes have occurred in both personal and professional life, they have been reflected in the work created. The whole atmosphere of an island and the experiences I enjoyed, ran deep under my skin and with the variety of work I created, I decided to merge projects dominated by the cultural atmosphere of Corfu and its tourist fulfillment and the difference in mentality.

The sea is depicted as a landmark of the stay and as the link between Morska Panda. The soothing feeling of the marine environment and the flow of the seaside is such an important stretch in my life that I feel like it required the creation of a "second skin" with the help of a long-processed material like latex.

The name Offline object was created on the basis of objects inspired by works published on the blog. The whole installation will bring a piece of the entire atmosphere of the stay and the sea in the form of latex objects, mainly in the combination of molten glass.
