Translucent Metal

Material Juxtaposition of a Light Bulb.

Abstract Architectural experiment of turning the glass light bulb into the metal mesh and the metal base of a bulb now turned into an opaque glass. Taking the most prevalent characteristic of the materials and inverting it.

The injection of the new function (light) has successfully transformed the metal into a translucent material and the glass into an opaque material. It truly looks like a crystal glass that emits a light into various patterns. The light truly transforms any surface into a canvas, a form of painting, either on an object, person or plain surface.
