Destructive and Formative

The works celebrate elemental transformation and the ritualistic act of turning matter into char — a preservation of life in its most essential form, carbon.
Charred Light showcases a series of sculptural lamps crafted from carbonised wood, bones, and fired clay, paired with warm textile lampshades. The collection extends to handcrafted candles, bringing together objects of both illumination and remembrance. Each piece arises from elemental processes — charring, firing, and shaping — where fire becomes both destructive and formative, leaving behind surfaces of deep black and textures marked by time.

Mystical Poetry

More than functional objects, the works are sculptural characters that challenge conventional ideas of beauty and decay. Fragile, raw and scorched surfaces meets the intimacy of crafted light, that reveal a mystical poetry. Darkness and glow meet and offer moments of comfort and presence.

Fenna Kosfeld (1999) is a German-born artist and material explorer based in Barcelona. Her practice explores the emotional and atmospheric potential of light and natural materials through sculptural light objects, installations, photography. Guided by a tactile, intuitive process, Fenna uses material as both medium and metaphor to reflect ecological interconnection, transformation and ephemerality. Her light objects act as sculptural companions that invite stillness, solitude and presence.
