Typical forms of Kerala utensils have been recontextualized into light installations. The shape reference for this chandelier is a achapam, which is a thick brass mould used for making sweets, popular among the Muslim community.
The top layer is in hand cast brass and reflects the casting skills of the craftsman. The bottom layer is made up of a brass plate sandwiched between two tiles that have been cut in the shape of an achapam. The spine of the chandelier is inspired by the traditional temple tops of Kerala.
