How does your work evoke a sense of safety, comfort, belonging, or protection within the home?

The Altar Lamp is conceived as a domestic monument, offering a site of pause where daily rituals gather meaning. Its porcelain shade, a material prized for both fragility and strength, filters light in a way that holds warmth close to the body. Set low to the ground on an iron stand, it carries a sense of steadiness and repose.
