この作品は太陽光線のエキスからの着想です。陽の光は私には暖かさ、幸せ、楽しさ、陽気、親しみ、そして生命を表します。しかし人はそれを当たり前に思いがちで、曇天や雨が続くと初めてお日様が恋しくなるのです。そういう陽光のエキスを捉えて、何か人がごく身近に感じられるようなものにする、そんな風なランプを創ってみようと思ったのです。LEDをシリコンバブルで包む、バブルが光を拡散する、シリコンの上には切り込みを入れて、ギュッと抱きしめると光がたくさん出てくる、カバーの形や材質は触りたいなァ、抱きよせたいなァ、くっついていたいなァと思わせるもの。充電式でどこへでも持って行けます。シリコンバブルは吹き込み形成、一つのバブルの中に5個から8個のLEDが必要。カバーはやわらかい手触りの織物、それと毛皮（人工でもよいのですが）との組み合わせも考えてみたいのです。

The inspiration of the design is the essences of sunlight. To me, sunlight represents warmth, happiness, joyfulness, playfulness, and closeness and life. However, sometimes people take the sun for granted. People only miss the sunlight when it is scares. The concept is to create a light that captures the essences of sunlight into something that people can create a close relationship with. The design is going to be made with LED lights with silicone bubble rapped around them.
The bubble acts as a light diffuser for LED. On the silicone there will be slits, so when people hug or squeeze them, more lights can come through. The shape and material for the cover encourages people to touch, hold closse and bond. This pillow light is battery operated so people can bring it with them whenever they go. Silicone bubbles can be produced with silicone and blow molding. There should be about 5-8 white LED inside one bubble. The cover can be fabric that is soft to the touch and inviting. I would like to explore on combining fabric with fur, does not have to be real animal fur, to create this feeling.
