Lava Lamp Decor, 2021
Edward Walker Craven, the inventor of the lava lamp, speaks about his invention as having rich symbolism and mystical properties. He says, “the lamp protects me because of its particular shape which is like the cycle of life. It starts from nothing—it grows up and starts to expand and then when it gets to the top it starts to break up and start all over again.” In this project, the circular motion of the lava lamp is rotated on its side so that the blobs appear to circle around the room. The usage of mirrors adds additional light to the space and makes the space feel bigger, while their location close to the ceiling prevents distracting reflections. The form of the mirrors imitates the shape of lava lamp goo and symbolizes the aforementioned mystical properties.
This project was self-initated.
