Jaded
Vacuum-formed Lamp
Jaded is a vacuum-formed desk lamp that emulates burning embers as a metaphor for academic burnout and a slow decline of one's personal motivation. It serves as a conversational starter piece where through time and as the lamp is used, its batteries slowly deplete, making the flames burn less brighter with every usage and as time passes by.

I wanted to emulate this visual into a conversation starter desk lamp in order for people to sit around it similar to a camp fire and have open conversations on the stigmatized feeling of burnout and losing motivation, especially for young Filipinos in a competitive academic environment.
