Lightshrine 1–6

2024 · Electrical soldering & wall mount by Haoqi Hong

Medium: Japanese Washi, Beeswax, Oxidised Metal

A system for building low-light ritual behaviour.

Switching a light on once the sun goes down is a habit engrained into modern life. This object aims to grab this focus and redirect it towards cultivating new protocols of interdependence. These practices can range from simple acts of attention and observation to more complex forms of ceremony and performance.

Crafted from Japanese washi, each delicate sheet is lasercut and soaked in beeswax. The form is meticulously stitched and tensioned into the semblance of a bulb and bound together by folds of oxidised metal.
