Show RCA work

Major project:

Falling Chandelier

'... After all, the chandelier has always appeared to me as the principal actor, seen through the large end or the small end of the lorgnette." (C. Baudelaire)

My interpretation of 'the sublime' is the simultaneous feeling of joy and pain. Influenced by the extremely conservative Christian family background, I harbour an ironic nostalgia towards classical western culture.
