A Letter from the Artist After a Time of Creative Exploration

This past year has been one of profound transformation and renewal in my artistic journey. Like many artists, I often find myself on a path where the next steps are unclear until I take them. It’s in these moments of exploration—when I allow myself to wander, experiment, and sometimes stumble—that the most meaningful growth occurs. Today, I want to share a glimpse into that journey with you.

Over the past several months, I’ve challenged myself to move beyond the familiar, pushing boundaries in both the materials I use and the techniques I employ. I delved deeper into digital design, combining it with my lifelong love for traditional craftsmanship. The result has been a fusion of the analog and the digital—where intricate, flowing forms that begin as digital sketches are brought to life through 3D printing, then molded and cast in materials like glass, resin, and metal.

This exploration has not only expanded my skillset but has also deepened my connection to the core values that inspire my work: the harmony of beauty and utility, the elegance of natural patterns like Fibonacci sequences, and the interplay between light and texture. Each new piece feels like a reflection of this journey—a story told in form and material.

One of the most rewarding aspects of this process has been reconnecting with the joy of creation itself. There’s a magic in watching an idea take shape, in letting the materials guide you as much as your own vision. It’s reminded me why I became an artist in the first place—not just to create, but to connect. To connect with you, my audience, who give these pieces a life beyond my studio.

As I look to the future, I’m thrilled to share the results of this creative exploration. Soon, I’ll be unveiling a new collection of mirrors and lighting that merge the timeless craftsmanship of cast glass and metal with cutting-edge digital precision. These pieces are more than functional—they are meant to transform spaces, bringing a sense of luxury, light, and artistry into everyday life.

I invite you to join me on this next chapter of my journey. Whether you’ve been with me since the beginning or are just discovering my work, your support and connection mean the world to me. I hope these new pieces resonate with you and inspire you as much as they’ve inspired me to create.

With gratitude and excitement,
Hilal (Lalo) Hibri
