“Noor”
“Noor” ( نور Arabic for light, and my sister’s name) is a ceramic wall-light sculpture where sacred Islamic architecture meets the intimacy of a Portuguese home. It is equal parts illumination and narrative vessel, holding function in one palm and ancestry in the other.
Each lamp is formed in a fleeting interval when the clay is perfectly poised—neither too supple nor too dry—then pressed into bespoke plaster moulds I carved by hand. The resulting surface is raw, textured, and unrepeatable, the exact record of that moment’s breath.
Noor is the result of five years of research, accidents, and quiet experiments. Where language falters, earth, pressure, and fire become the storytellers.
