A square cut from a copper sheet is deformed into a perfect circle, giving rise to a pseudospherical geometry—conical and hyperbolic in character, and subtly counterintuitive in its complexity.
The light illuminates both the interior of the piece and the wall it is mounted on, casting a warm reflection tinted by the copper itself. Conceived as sculptural objects, the lamps occupy the space typically reserved for artwork.

OBJ-07 is produced from recycled copper in collaboration with master artisans in Santa Clara del Cobre, Michoacán. The material is heated in fire until it becomes malleable, then shaped through controlled, repetitive hammering. Rather than relying on industrial processes, form develops gradually through this manual work, allowing the material to be stretched, compressed, and stabilized by hand.
The piece retains the traces of this process—subtle variations, tonal shifts, and surface irregularities—that reflect both the intensity of the work and the nature of the material itself. Once the raw piece is formed, it is transported to Valle de Chalco, Estado de México, where final adjustments, assembly, and finishing are completed.
