Introducing ‘Cosmic Pearl’, contemporary glass artist Abby Modell‘s latest commissioned work aboard Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas. This dazzling glass and metal wall art, room divider was created for the ship’s main dining room, continues Modell’s signature exploration of light, reflection, and texture, merging functional design with sculptural artistry.
