#6 Work in Progress_ a Wingless Lantern

Looks like a crumbling tower

      The concept is an inspiration from visiting the shipyard in San Francisco, where artists have their own sort of studio and space to work in. The piece is still at its "wingless" mode. But hopefully, it will grow its wing by the end of next week and will be ready to fly. I built a prototype out of green paper before the execution. However, it is now kind of different from the original design in terms of the patterns and the additional riveted ring. The "wings" are going to grow from the side of the riveted ring, and will hopefully contribute to the emission/ reflection of light at a different level. I'm still considering whether to hang this piece eventually or not.

Interior, a bottom plate will be added later


That polished side has a reflection
