Entry Description

This pendant light embodies the idea of growing from where it breaks, inspired by the Eaton Fire that struck California this January. While walking through Altadena—a community deeply affected by the fire—I came across a broken branch. I placed a light where it had split, allowing warmth to shine through the damage. The piece balances wood-like texture with organic movement, evoking a quiet sense of calm, safety, and resilience.
