The Tree on the Mountain Top | night light

The Tree on the Mountain Top | night light

The tree on the mountaintop is like our longing for the future and for places far away.
As we move forward slowly, no matter what challenges we encounter along the way,
each step will eventually become the light that illuminates that tree at the summit.

Living in the rift valley, we are greeted by mountains every time we step outside.
Along the ridgeline at the edge of the sky, there are always one or two trees—
solitary yet resilient—standing quietly in the distance.
What might that tree look like?
We often imagine it as a symbol of a better way of living.

The snail is much like us.
Moving slowly, steadily, without haste.
One day, it will reach the tree on the mountaintop,
transforming every challenge along the way into nourishment,
and becoming the light that makes the tree glow.
(Although it occasionally devours the tender new leaves we have been eagerly waiting for overnight,
it never diminishes our appreciation for its slowness—laughs.)

During this time, we have often felt a deep sense of gratitude toward the mountains.
That tree standing on the ridgeline represents our vision of a “better life.”
Even though we already live among the mountains,
when we look toward more distant ranges, we still find another tree—
quietly calling to us, as if to say:
Take your time. Move step by step toward where your heart is drawn.
When one day we finally reach the summit and see the tree light up,
we will understand that every effort along the journey was truly worthwhile.

In creating this piece, we sought to bring this imagination into tangible form.
By combining digital fabrication with handcraft,
the snail is able to slowly “climb” along the mountainside;
when the lamp is not in use, it can rest securely, magnetically attached to the side of the base.

The tree canopy is crafted by hand—
sheets of kozo paper are carefully torn and collaged layer by layer,
allowing branches and leaves to intertwine naturally.
As a result, each tree has its own unique appearance,
just like every mountain and every dream carries its own form.

Within the delicate glow of the paper,
we add subtle accents of pink kozo paper—
a gentle touch of softness for the tree.

    Gradual Brightening & Dimming · The Breath of Light

    this breathing-like rhythm allows the light to accompany everyday life with softness.

    When not in use, the snail can be magnetically attached to the mountainside,
    resembling a slow ascent along the slope.
    When placed at the designated spot on the base, the light gradually turns on.
    When removed, the light slowly fades away.
    Like a beam of light ignited when the snail reaches the mountaintop.
