From the Maker:
The Sidewalk lamp draws inspiration from the perpetual construction activities shaping urban landscapes. Utilizing materials commonly found at construction sites, it embodies the essence of the evolving cityscape. Reflecting the collective consciousness of modern society, the city's format symbolizes the convergence of individual experiences as well as the synthetic cooperation of each element. Amidst the city's bustling progress, construction stands out as its defining feature, embodying resilience and innovation. Through Sidewalk, we celebrate the dynamic evolution and pioneering spirit of urban development.
