Description
Bamako light sculpture
Bamako is a light sculpture formed of two spheres of glass blown using the overlay technique. This technique involves layering several sheets of glass before cutting them cold with a diamond tip.
The interior of the spheres is covered with opaline, which gives them their luminosity. Both parts have an LED light source.

He draws his inspiration from nature, which he considers a source of perfection and humility. His work, deeply connected to the cosmos, the seabed and luminous phenomena, seeks to express the movement of life and the fragility of childhood.
