This philosophical sculptural lamp transforms a utilitarian object into an instrument of contemplation. A 1987 Chinese scale beam—once used to measure physical weight—is given a new vocation: to serve as a gauge for light and time. It rests on a base of lightning-struck wood, bearing the capricious force of nature, while a circa-1950s blue-and-white porcelain bowl cradles a warm LED glow, giving a visible "weight" to time itself.

This piece invites contemplation: what counterweight should we use to measure the brilliant, yet fleeting, moments of our existence?

Transformingtime-worn objects into collectible contemplative art.

Yingting Su is the artist behind Loom & Drift, transforming reclaimed Chinese relics—1920s porcelain bowls, century‑old ox yokes, lightning‑struck wood—into one‑of‑a‑kind sculptural lighting. Rather than erasing their age, she preserves their scars, patina, and history, giving each piece a second life as functional art for collectors and designers. Her work explores the quiet dialogue between time, labor, and light. Based in Ningbo, China.
