Green lines flow across the warm, earthy brown of this naturally grown gourd, creating a pattern that feels both organic and quietly alive.
Thousands of tiny openings allow the light to escape, transforming the carved lines and natural colours into a delicate play of light and shadow when the lamp is switched on. By day, the gourd reveals its rich, earthy surface; by night, it comes alive.
Each lamp begins with the unique shape of a dried gourd. I follow its natural form and let the pattern develop from there, combining colour, carving and countless small openings by hand.
A small piece of earth, transformed into light.
Height: 26 cm
Material: dried gourd, acrylic paint, concrete base
Light: LED bulb
