Eucleptella Light Shelter

Modular installation using common objects
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Drawing inspiration from the deep-sea Euplectella sponge, the installation uses the structural stability of the hexagonal cell to create a rigid shell using an inherently weak material – paper.

At the same time it captures the luminous qualities of the sea sponge, and provides a sheltered meditative space within from the busy activity outside.
