Glass Sculptures are sculptures of light, as are the sculptures of our Love The story, Glass Sculptures, comprises a chapter of the novel, Winning without Victory, by Rolf A. F. Witzsche, which is Episode 3 of the series of novels, The Lodging for the Rose. The series is designed to explore the great renaissance principle, the Principle of Universal Love, the foundation for civilization. The fictional story, Glass Sculptures, plays in the mid-1980s, partly in Communist East Germany and partly in Venice, Italy. It is a multilevel story on the theme of light and love, combining a number of seemingly unrelated elements.
