This lighting piece is constructed using fallen tree branches collected from Stuyvesant Town park, which serve as the main structural framework of the design. Rather than reshaping the material, the natural curves, knots, and branching patterns were preserved to highlight the organic qualities of the wood. Small light bulbs are distributed along the branches, creating points of illumination that resemble buds or fruits emerging from the structure. The irregular placement of the lights allows the fixture to mimic the way light naturally filters through tree canopies. To stabilize and connect the different branches, thin metal rods were inserted and used as structural connectors, allowing the composition to expand outward while maintaining balance. Additional small wooden spheres were attached to echo the visual rhythm of the bulbs and reinforce the natural aesthetic. By combining raw branches, metal connectors, and electrical components, the piece explores the relationship between natural growth and modern technology, transforming discarded organic material into a sculptural and functional lighting object.
