The concrete Gayalux lamp is both sculptural and luminous. This mineral ball is anchored to the ground and it appears to levitate with a streak of light passing through it. Concrete turns from architecture to objects. The block becomes curved like skin.

interior- exterior slab “playtime” ground & wall (2011) 30 x 30 cm

The pattern present on the first slab disappears little by little on the second and third slab until it practically no longer exists on the fourth.
