Meltdown is a group of lamps of thin coloured glass with a spherical shape. The inspirational idea was to make something beautiful from the disastrous nuclear accident in Fukushima. Would an actual meltdown occur and what would the impact be? The disaster is reflected in the lamps where the process already begun and the bulb are about to melt through the last defence of the glass. The diameter of every lamp is 285 mm and they can be composed in the linear way or as a grape.
