For example, I’m obsessed with domes and bubble shapes and the organicity of my work –  it is because I grew up in Lima, Peru. Peru is a very biodiverse country. It’s the desert, the mountains, the Andes, and then you have the Amazon. The jungles have these incredible, different types of biodiversity, not only in the plants but also in the types of animals. Growing up by the Pacific Ocean, I experienced its ferocity; the waves and, at the shore, these formations of sea foam became very sculptural and moved and reflected with the sun. When I was little, I started poking them. I studied them and was fascinated by how the light reflected on them. \u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\nLater, I made an incredible trip to Iceland, where I encountered the Northern Lights. It changed my life. I started thinking, “If I could only share this with others, wouldn’t it be amazing?” It took two years to come up with ideas on how to share this ephemeral part of life. I had a moment when I thought, “Should I take my camera and take pictures? Or should I just leave the moment absorbed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>Looking behind the lens detaches you from being totally immersed in yourself. Of course, I chose to live in the moment. I don’t have any pictures, but that’s how I started working with light in 2000.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cbr \u002F>\r\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca
