Lighting
Functional art piece designed for film photography enthusiasts to preserve and show case their film negatives.
As film photography gains renewed popularity, developed film carries growing emotional and artistic value for users of all ages. While many photographers carefully preserve their developed film, there are few display solutions that truly showcase its unique qualities. This project explores a lighting display designed to elevate developed film as an art object, offering an intimate way for users to revisit and share their work.
