MARKINGS Collectible design by ASM (a designer and tattoo artist)
Light object that combines the aesthetics of illumination with the act of marking both the body and space.
Traces on Skin
Markings begins with the surface of the body - the skin - as a site of memory and identity. Using synthetic skin, often employed by tattoo artists for practice, the object reflects on the act of marking as both personal expression and transformation. The lamp captures this dialogue between body and material, where light reveals the traces of human touch and the permanence of marks made over time.
Imprints in Space
Extending beyond the body, the structure of Markings draws from architectural form, emphasizing that the spaces we inhabit are also shaped and marked by human actions. The object becomes a symbolic intersection between body and architecture - a vessel where light, material, and trace coexist. When illuminated, these imprints dissolve into light, suggesting that every mark - physical or emotional - becomes part of the larger spatial and human narrative.
3D printing from clay / Vases
During the 3D clay printing course, I learned how to work with this technique by creating three sculptural forms inspired by various objects and cultures. Through this process, I explored the possibilities of 3D printing with clay and gained a practical understanding of this method.
