The format of the jar work as a template for his new role. The roots as a natural embroided is a cover for the lamp and its trunk as the main lighting pedestal that has been riched with a spiral gold metal.

As all every living being there is a life cycle of birth, development and death, and it is just after the end of its cycle that the memory left, could be trasformed in a second life use.
