The object was created with the image of fire sprouting from plant roots.
Under the theme of “The Flame of Life,” the light source at the top was designed to resemble a flickering flame, with an organic, flowing shape. The prototype was sculpted using clay typically used for modeling.
Electricity runs through brass pipes inspired by plant roots, symbolically giving them the role of a life source within the product. The form twists and extends upward in a three-dimensional, undulating shape.
Just before this project began, I was invited by a friend to a party hosted by a jewelry brand. That experience had a strong influence on me—many of the material combinations and fine details were inspired by jewelry design.
