ONCE UPON A TIME, I WAS A BUTTERFLY - Handmade LED wall lamp by LO Contemporary
Description
Eduard Locota’s ONCE UPON A TIME, I WAS A BUTTERFLY embodies a profound dialogue between art and functionality, transforming a mirror into a sculptural masterpiece. Locota’s innovative use of coal as a primary material redefines its role from a traditional fuel source to an evocative medium of artistic expression.Coal, historically a symbol of industrial power, undergoes a poetic metamorphosis in Locota’s hands. By examining its journey from organic plant matter to a dense mineral, and ultimately to a contentious energy resource, Locota envisions a sustainable and imaginative future for this fossil fuel. His approach transcends mere recycling, instead suggesting an active and transformative reimagining of the material’s potential.This piece narrates the metamorphosis of human ambition and labor. It portrays the life cycle of an individual—beginning with the youthful aspirations of a dreamer, likened to a butterfly full of hope, who seeks to reach the zenith of human achievement. As time progresses, this figure morphs into a seasoned worker, a simple proletarian, symbolically represented as a miner with a lamp on his forehead.ONCE UPON A TIME, I WAS A BUTTERFLY serves as a poignant reminder of generational toil and transformation, evoking the lives of our ancestors, our grandparents, and perhaps our own. It is an homage to the enduring human spirit, capturing the essence of our collective past while urging us to rethink and reshape the future of our resources and ourselves.Material: coal, resin, brass wireLight source: 110-220V, LEDThis piece is limited to 35 editions. Each piece is signed by the artist and accompanied with a certificate of authenticity.
