Illumination

This piece features three freestanding lamps that represent the stages of life. The tallest lamp, adorned with toys, symbolizes the foundation of childhood and the connection to the inner child.

The second tallest lamp, featuring cars, female figures and bullet casings, reflects the process of growing up, marked by the realization that life isn’t always as it seems. It embodies the hardships faced and the lessons learned along the way.

The smallest lamp, constructed with traffic cones, represents the ego, intuition, and subconscious, guiding us to understand emotions, distinguish right from wrong, recognize trustworthy individuals, and navigate life’s obstacles.
