Sun Bleached is a lighting object created from discarded linen textile remnants, emerging from an exploration of material cycles, forgotten traditions, and the relationship between light and transformation. The project takes inspiration from the historical practice of bleaching linen fabrics by laying them across open meadows, where sunlight, moisture, and time slowly altered the material. Rather than treating this process as a literal reference, Sun Bleached approaches it as a memory — a quiet gesture carried through generations, where nature itself became part of making.

By using textile waste as its primary material, the project shifts attention toward the hidden value of what is often overlooked or discarded. Linen, a material deeply embedded in cultural histories and everyday life, becomes detached from its original function and enters a new context. Fragments and remnants are brought together to form an object that exists between softness and structure, familiarity and abstraction. The process of reworking these materials becomes a way of extending their life while allowing them to carry traces of previous forms and uses.
