Eureka

I created ‘Eureka’—a sculptural lighting fixture—from a discarded tree stump. And in the spirit of kintsugi, I retained all the scars that we humans and our chainsaws leave behind, and highlighted the cuts made by my chisels with gold leaf. This is my way of paying tribute to a felled tree, and giving a part of it a new existence. // Materials: tropical almond (talisay) wood, composite gold leaf, and LED bulb. // Artwork Dimensions: 22in x 8.5in x 16.5in // Digital Artwork: 6000px x 3375px; made in collaboration with Mia Rocha Lauchengco // This NFT serves as the certificate of authenticity for the original physical artwork.
