Pagoda Light is a sculptural light object inspired by the traditional 走马灯, or revolving lantern.
The work reinterprets the familiar lantern form through an architectural language of stacked tiers, rhythm, and illuminated structure. Rather than treating the lantern as a decorative festive object, Pagoda Light transforms it into a quiet spatial sculpture — one that holds light, memory, and movement within its frame.
Its pagoda-like form suggests ascension, balance, and ritual, while the glow within recalls the warmth of old lanterns seen in temples, homes, and festive streets. The work sits between object and architecture, tradition and contemporary design.
Pagoda Light reflects on memory as something that loops, flickers, and returns. Like a revolving lantern, it carries fragments of the past into the present — not as nostalgia, but as a living form of light.
