Those mobiles are amazing.. but if I did have one, how would i dust it? Or would i need to keep it in an hermetically sealed glass case?

Happy Birthday to you.

Ebon is a dear friend of mine and has been privately working away for years on these amazing pieces. He’s having shows in Berlin and Dubai at the moment and I think his moment is just beginning.
