I create sculptural lights using repurposed materials and everyday objects. My latest projects are a collaboration between my brother and me. The lights we craft together originate from ordinary items that we assemble into articulated shapes, which we then enhance with carefully selected paper and fabric coverings, along with a bespoke light source, resulting in beautiful, tactile lights.

My artistic practices are born from my love of creating pieces that are both practical and beautiful, using repurposed and everyday mundane items that are transformed far beyond their original purpose.

I am inspired by nature, its colors, and its symmetry, and I have a deep passion for incorporating lights to enhance these elements.
