Mycelium, the vegetative network of fungi, grows by binding organic particles into cohesive structures. Used here as a living construction material, it forms the casing of a lamp. The work explores the encounter between biological growth and artificial light: illumination meets a material that usually develops underground, in darkness.

The piece proposes an alternative mode of production. Instead of assembling separate parts, matter is placed into a mold to grow into the given form, similar to a recipe unfolding over time. In this case, the lamp was allowed to grow for twelve days. Once shaped, the object can be dried and stabilized, or returned to a moist environment where fungal growth continues and the surface transforms beyond the boundaries of the mold. Within the exhibition, the work reflects on cultivation, control, and the shifting relationship between design and living organism.
