Hin (หิน) Light Study no. 1 - unknown stone species, linen shade, copper tube and lamp hardware.
หิน (pronounced ‘hin’) - means stone or rock in Thai.
Back in January, while sourcing stone for terrazzo floors, I bought several small boulders from a roadside vendor in Pak Chong province.

Over the last couple months I cut and drilled the boulders and explored different methods of changing their character with light.
