Description: The Vessel of Light stands as a striking sculptural lamp where form and illumination merge. A serene face emerges from a chalice-like head, cradling a glowing bulb as if holding the essence of light itself. The elongated organic body, anchored on a carved wooden base, conveys both fragility and strength. Balancing functionality with symbolic depth, the work evokes ideas of offering, guardianship, and the timeless human connection to light as a source of guidance and spirit.
