Barnacle Imagination

Creating with natural materials is a principle that Moussou steadfastly upholds. Beyond that, she sources materials from local farmers' loofahs, repurposed threads, discarded fabric from clothing waste, beachcombing finds, driftwood, twine, and iron wire. Proficient in knitting, interior decoration, painting, and crafts, Moussou's lampshades crafted from loofah may seem familiar, yet they take on distinctive shapes and captivating qualities under her hands. Through her approach to dyeing and structure, the lampshades become not only interchangeable and collectible but also adaptable to the rhythms of daily life and varied atmospheres. The incorporation of repurposed and natural materials has become a hallmark of Taiwan's East Coast. This not only champions the principles of carbon reduction and sustainable living but also highlights creativity, personalization, and the modern necessity for adaptability and portability.
