Flower

Lamp
Metal, plastic, acrylic; 50 cm
Edition: 3.


PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The «Flower» lamp is the incarnation of a predatory flower, which can catch not only insects and animals with its light, but also people who always strain after the light and reach out for it. Nevertheless, this predatory plant was curbed by a human long time ago with the help of a transparent glass bulb around the lampshade, as if being in its personal aquarium. People were able to tame the light, and accordingly, this predatory plant.

LEGEND:
The flower sprouts on the Planet of Paradise. Many people, who have visited this place, become hostages of pollen fumes from plants, and local people, who have already adapted to these poisonous fumes, become like zombies, staying in their oblivion. The sparks flare up in the surroundings at night time and give the impression of safety. However, those local people, who go outside the city at this time, risk being eaten by poisonous plants, which are also called «Head Eaters». These plants are the nocturnal defenders of cities from the living creatures that exist in the forests of the Planet of Paradise.

SPECIFICATIONS:
The lamp is made in a mixed technique using plastic, silicone, metal and glass. Each element is painted by hand.
