Disambiguate Table Lamp transforms the central figure from The Shape of Obedience into a functional sculptural light. Standing beneath an illuminated cloud, the figure embodies the quiet tension between conformity and individuality, inviting reflection on identity, perception, and the unseen psychological weight of social expectations. The cloud, both shelter and light source, casts a gentle glow that softens the work’s thorned silhouette, symbolizing clarity emerging through uncertainty. Crafted from polystone with metal reinforcement and a refined PU finish, the lamp balances sculptural expression with everyday function, allowing art to inhabit domestic space without losing its conceptual depth. More than a source of illumination, Disambiguate Table Lamp creates an atmosphere of contemplation, encouraging moments of stillness while serving as a reminder that growth often begins by embracing ambiguity rather than certainty.

Designer

Alexoid Luce (also known as Alexdrina Chong) is a Malaysian multidisciplinary artist and designer whose practice navigates the intersection of sculpture, visual design, and psychological advocacy. Following a career as a senior designer and educator in the United States, she returned to Malaysia to establish a studio practice dedicated to social design and cause-driven branding, centering her work on the visceral experience of the survivor.

Her current practice is defined by a striking visual vocabulary of vibrant reds, thorns, and stripes, where domestic furniture is re-engineered as a medium for psychological inquiry. Characterized by a tension between beauty and defense, her aesthetic utilizes these motifs to explore “somatic” structures, blurring the boundaries between fine art and the functional objects of daily life. Since the 2023 publication of her visual journal, 100 Pages of Solitude, Alexoid has focused on dissolving the partitions between art, design, illustration, and literature to interrogate the rigid architecture of social expectation.
