“capturing the beauty of moving light”
  • Ripple is a moving light piece that express the beauty of glass and celebrates it’s making process.
  • Each set of Ripple contains a large rotating dome and a smaller dome which holds the light source. A focus beam of light projects from the smaller dome, goes all the way through the mouth-blown, unevenly shaped glass dome which is gently rotating and creates shadow and light in an ever-changing moving ripple pattern, where the aesthetic goes beyond the material itself.
  • The starting point of Ripple was a combination of emotional encounter with light and a material experiment.
  • “We want to capture the nature beauty of light created by water refraction and recreate the beauty in a domestic environment.”
  • “The glass blowing process forms a mysterious transparent bubble, almost as if the time and memory was frozen in that moment. In the end of the process we cast a bit of magic to bring this frozen moment back to life again, the projected dancing ripple pattern celebrates not only this transparent material but the true essence of light.”

  • The light sculpture Forms In Nature turns any room into a wild forest made of haunting oversized shadows.
  • Forms In Nature is an artwork consisting of a light source surrounded by a tense and unruly tree and root system created in a miniature sculpture. Mysterious and magical branches, bushes and gnarled trees appear on the walls and ceilings.
  • Interaction with the sculpture changes its impact on surroundings from lending atmosphere to a small setting, to changing entire environments of vast spaces.
  • Intensify the brightness at the center of the sculpture to engulf the room in the unruly shadows of faces, life and the flow of consciousness. Dim the lights to invoke the feeling of a weak fire burning deep in the center of the forest. Switch off the light to experience the alluring beauty of the sculpture itself.
  • Forms In Nature is an artwork made of special hardened plastic powder that can withstand the heat from the light bulb and will stay bright white over time.
  • The components are designed with a software program by multiplying and refining original hand drawings until reaching a unique pattern. The final pieces of the sculpture is then built with a 3D printer and put together by hand.

I'm interested in lighting design, especially those that cast unique shadows.
