White Stem
Stem is a modular wax-light sculpture reminiscent of a totem or a plant stem. It is is composed of modular elements crafted from the specific natural wax blend. Easily stackable and reconfigurable, each segment carries slight variations in translucency and texture,
White Stem exists between solidity and transformation. By day, it stands as a quiet presence. By night, it glows from within, revealing the structure and tactility of its organic material. Stem reflects cycles of formation and renewal, where wax and light exist in quiet dialogue, gently complementing one another.
Materials:
Natural wax blend modules, aluminum, LED light source
