A conceptual sculpture exploring material, value, and the traces of creative process. Composed of bone-dry clay remnants left to be discarded, the work reframes what was deemed waste as a source of possibility, study, and beauty. Through the artist’s recognition of its inherent potential, the material becomes both a record of time and a testament to the gestures, decisions, and sequences that shape the making of art. Some fragments are restored through rehydration, while others remain untouched, preserving their original forms as evidence of process and transformation.

Through the reworking of an existing object, the lamp becomes a study in transformation: a convergence of damaged and intact forms held together through improvisation and gesture. Considered for exhibition, the sculpture survives in a single photograph, its physical form now lost to time. The image remains as a trace of the work’s existence, preserving a moment when chaos was given material form and reconfigured into something luminous.
