[CAMILLE TAN]
Carved teak wood, ocean stone, and nacre from pinctada maxima shell .
This lamp was conceived as a fragment of a seascape transformed into a luminous object.
Light passes through a natural mother-of-pearl disc, revealing its shifting iridescent reflections, while the stone switch brings a tactile mineral presence.
Each material preserves its irregularities, textures, and history.
A piece suspended between design, craftsmanship, and living matter.
"Traces, manufacturing processes, and accidents are marks of time that animate the material. We find different layers and stages of alteration, natural or artificial, whose status remains ambiguous. My creative process begins when I walk or wander around the city, collecting materials and artifacts. A found object has narrative potential and, due to the diversity of its origins, can be the source of multiple stories. Working with this object becomes a constraint that is integral to my work. Sometimes we discover a suspended landscape. The mobiles are composed mainly of stones, wood, and metal found during these searches. A system of supports, balances, and tensions is required, intertwining the rough edges and unique shapes of the levitating elements. Each installation functions as a universe, where bodies and forms dialogue in space, developing relationships and connections between them.”
