VEIL OF MAYA

The Veil of Maya is a collection of sculptural lighting that investigates perception through material contradiction, preserving the qualities of textile in porcelain to reveal how memory, touch, and expectation shape our experience of objects.

Inspired by Jeff Hawkins' theory of predictive perception and Schopenhauer's notion that reality is always mediated by expectation, the collection transforms fragile textiles into translucent porcelain lighting objects.

Each lamp originates from a draped linen form whose texture is fossilized through plaster moulds and translated into Parian porcelain. The textile disappears in the kiln, yet its weave, folds, and imperfections remain permanently inscribed in the ceramic body. When illuminated, these traces become visible once again, allowing the absent textile to return through light.

Balancing between softness and permanence, presence and absence, the collection invites viewers to question how materials are perceived and how memory continues to inhabit form. Consisting of standing lamps and wall sconces, each piece is unique, preserving a singular textile gesture that cannot be replicated.
