Sculptural Lighting by Gie El

A quiet descent of volcanic matter, suspended between darkness and light. Dark fragments of natural obsidian, suspended on exceptionally fine optical fibers, form a sculptural composition where light encounters the raw beauty of volcanic glass. The individual elements appear to float effortlessly in space, their irregular arrangement suggesting a gentle, almost imperceptible movement. Obsidian reveals its character through deep black tones and naturally uneven surfaces. As light grazes the volcanic glass, fleeting reflections emerge, shifting with every change in perspective. Some remain barely visible, while others briefly reveal the intricate textures and subtle details of each fragment. Suspended at varying heights, the obsidian elements create a slender, cascading silhouette. The delicate optical fibers almost disappear into the surrounding space, allowing darkness, light, and natural matter to define the composition. Above, a minimalist circular metal canopy introduces a sense of geometric order, quietly contrasting with the organic forms below. OBSIDIAN 1 finds its natural setting in interiors with generous vertical space, where its elongated silhouette can unfold freely within the architecture. By day, the dark volcanic fragments command attention through their sculptural presence. As daylight fades, light gradually takes on a more expressive role, gently transforming the perception of the installation. An ever-changing dialogue between matter, light, and space.
