Community lights Sculpture

VERY IMPORTANT! This lamp will be done only on demand. It takes one week to finish it. Also, the lamps will not be identical to the one in this photo. Thanks to the specificity of the netting technique, each object is unique. *technical detail below This lamp was designed as prototype for the installation Community lights. In 2013, I started searching for my perfect home. It turned out to be a state of mind rather than a place. To illustrate this state of mind I chose the snail shell because like the snail, we carry it with us all the time. Because perfection is something relative to the person reflecting on it, I chose an atypical snail shell to create a visual of the perfect home. This shell belongs to a scaliform variant of the garden snail. A scaliform shell is a shell that instead of having the whorls tightly coiled has space between them. Although, my perfect home is represented by a different scaliform snail, this garden variety helped me give life to an entire world: from friends, to lovers, to an entire family. When I created the family I was playing with different dimensions, which resulted in lighter objects, empty on the inside, that I could turn into lamps. Since the family should be the light in anyone's life, I thought this was a fortunate alignment of events. But what if an entire community would be lighted? A community is a group of people that belong together for different reasons: they live in the same area, work in the same area/ field, like the same things and meet to enjoy them together. Those people hold a influence on each other even if they don't realize it. Sometimes just walking by someone can change that person's life.
