Apple

The Lamp crafted from Apple-Fruitleather (Persian: Lavashak), transcends its function as a light source to become a sensory time machine. The material's gummy bear-like texture and fruity scent evoke the sweet and sour nostalgia of childhood. When illuminated, the Lavashak panels radiate like stained glass, casting warm hues of amber and gold, transforming the everyday into the extraordinary. Each panel acts as a diary entry—some vibrant, others faded—resonating with Derrida’s concept of différance, where meaning is always deferred. The apple form abstracts the material back to its origins, intertwining tradition with contemporary symbolism. This work is a tactile narrative, bridging past and present, and challenging perceptions of time and memory.
