The inspiration for Breath of Light actually came from Preciosa’s exhibition at Salone del Mobile in 2017. Part of the installation gave people the opportunity to experience classic chandeliers illuminating a dark space only lit by candle light – just as chandeliers did historically before electricity. As Mr. Vasku explains, “Lighting the candles on a chandelier is an emotional ritual, the same as blowing out the candles’ flames – we simply reversed the idea of blowing out candles to exhaling light into a chandelier.” He adds that breathing is a poetic yet unconventional way of interacting with an object, and with other people.

This work explores the relationship between nature and the built environment and how architecture can contribute to the creation of a world that supports the symbiosis of both. It seeks to create a spatial experience that enhances our awareness of our surroundings. In addition, it attempts, to help reveal that we can shape our world in another generous way. The generosity between humans and nature is explored.
