This light is meant to evoke the soul of the bowls and their transformation into a new object. The warmth from the bulb and the fragmented reflected light is meant to represent the warmth of life and the fragments as memories and moments within that life. Since the bowls are recycled and found, its meant as a way to celebrate the past life it had, representing it as a thing of its own. It also points out a relationship between us and the objects we use everyday, within having the choice to continue to celebrate the craft and importance of an object in a new light. In a world where objects are mass produced in arrays of millions of identical objects, it's important to take a step back and consider the importance and character that objects can have as they stay with you throughout life. The entirety of the object can be viewed as the bowl passing through different stages; like an exploded view.
