The Power of Stained Glass

Stained glass is a timeless art form that has been an integral part of human history for centuries. Once a dominant feature in cathedrals, churches, and public buildings, stained glass is now a less recognized form of expression. However, its power to inspire and tell profound stories remains as strong as ever.

Throughout history, stained glass has served as a powerful tool for communication, often depicting stories of faith, human struggle, triumph, and the divine. The intricate designs and vibrant colors are not just decorative—they are a narrative in themselves. When light passes through these colorful windows, it transforms, creating a living, breathing art that tells a different story with every shift of light. This ability to change with the light reflects the evolving nature of human experience, making stained glass a truly dynamic art form.

At Roots of Humanity, we are committed to preserving and celebrating the legacy of stained glass. This beautiful craft deserves to be remembered and passed down through generations, as it carries with it centuries of history and artistic expression.

One remarkable project that exemplifies this dedication is the Sphere of Light building. Featuring stained glass from Holdman Studios, this stunning structure will showcase 469 windows, each one representing a unique chapter in the journey, values, and progress of humanity. Set for completion in 2029, the Sphere of Light will stand as a powerful testament to the enduring impact of stained glass, showcasing its unparalleled ability to tell our collective story in a way no other medium can.
