Inspiration
One evening, as I walked down my street,
overcome with a feeling of hopelessness
everything in my world had cracked
I happened to
pass by a heap of rubbish where someone had discarded eggshells.
I stopped and stared at it.
One evening, as I walked down my street,

I happened to

I stopped and stared at it.
Unknown to me at that time,
this was the moment Pathways of light was conceived.
I had been woking with non linear patterns in mathematics in my previous career in financial markets,
And suddenly,
I saw non linear patterns in these eggshells
lying in a dump.
It reminded me of the non linear patterns
In the way our glaciers have begun melting at an accelerated rate.
And a few daystar later, I saw non linear patterns in how a mirror cracks-
when heated in an artists workshop.
I was excited.
I collected broken eggshells and broken mirror, I did not try to repair cracks in the broken materials.
Eighteen months later,
In June 2022, Pathways of light hung at Granary square, London.
Won the highly commended 'Maison zero, this earth' award
for sustainability by LVMH.
