“The Shy Plant” 
2021





































︎INTERACTIVE PIECE 


Inspired by the sensitive nature of the Mimosa Pudica—also known as the shy plant—this handmade lamp responds to human proximity with a delicate gesture: it closes its structure when someone comes too close. Crafted from wood and tensioned thread, the piece merges organic inspiration with reactive technology, inviting viewers to reconsider the boundaries between living organisms and artificial systems. This experimental light object explores emotional interaction through motion, light, and materiality.
