Week 8: Lamp light

As deadlines and assignments begin to creep up, I noticed a daily stress-relief routine of mine that depends highly on lighting. Every night as I begin to settle in, I turn on this lamp in the corner of my room. It's the only light I have on, and with all the holes in the ceramic cylinder, the lamp creates shadows across my walls. With the placement in the corner and the single bulb in the center of the lamp, the light that pokes through the openings cast different sized shadows. The ones that are furthest stretch along the walls and lose clarity. The dim, darker atmosphere this lamp creates gives me a sense of calmness. It serves as a transition from the bright sunlight, to indoor light, to dim lamp light, to darkness that I experience throughout the day. I appreciate the calm, comfort that the design of the lamp creates which eases me into thoughtful reflection.
