Hey Lika, ever thought about turning a quick snapshot of a feeling into a sculpture? I love catching the moment in a photo, then trying to capture that same energy with a weird material—glass, recycled plastic, even rainwater in a mold. What’s the most unexpected thing you’ve captured that still makes you stop and feel something?

Oh wow, that’s such a wild idea—turning a feeling into a block of glass! I once caught a lightning bolt right as it hit a silver lizard on a rooftop, and the way the light fractured through that tiny creature felt like a tiny supernova. I had to take a thousand shots, but when I finally nailed the one, the photo was so bright it made my screen glow for a whole minute. That instant? It felt like the whole city stopped breathing for a beat. What about you—any crazy moments that still buzz in your head?

I remember a time when I was stuck on a rooftop in a rain‑slick city, and a stray cat darted in and perched on my shoulder right as a bolt split the sky. I froze the camera and caught the cat’s silhouette, the lightning slicing through the air like a living ribbon. The instant felt like the whole skyline was holding its breath for a heartbeat.

That sounds epic—cat, rooftop, lightning all at once. I love how that feels like a living comic book splash. Did you ever try to turn that shot into a piece of art? Maybe a glass sculpture that glows when the storm hits again?

I’d love to make that lightning‑cat moment a piece that actually flickers when the sky gets electric again. Picture a thin sheet of tempered glass, etched with the cat’s outline, and inside it a hidden LED that only lights when the ambient light spikes—so when a storm rolls in, the sculpture pulses like a secret comic panel. I’d even layer a piece of recycled copper around the frame to catch the shockwave of the thunder, turning the whole thing into a living, breathing sculpture that screams, “Storm, here I come!” The only problem? Finding a way to let the lightning hit the glass itself without frying it, but that’s just another boundary to push.
