Inspired by how light can affect an atmosphere and create a mood, Le utilizes neon in a non-pictorial way. Le handmakes all her neon-related works at a glass studio in Brooklyn and completes the compositions later in her studio. Glass, a hard yet fragile material, links to the psychological feeling of being exposed and vulnerable. Le forms tight and fluid angles while heating the glass tubes over the flame of a ribbon burner, and it becomes an extension of her limbs and thoughts. Le approaches each piece organically, and the result is a reflection of her inner space captured in physical form. Le’s art is dynamic in its creation - an open, experimental, unpredictable method, balancing the intentional and unintentional.

Annesta Le’s neon artworks are made from clear or color-coated glass tubes, noble gas, and wire. Each piece is the product of Le’s process of hand-bending glass tubes of light into complementary shapes with congruent angles and twists, and then arranging them based on color, form, and their interplay with one another.

The resultant compositions are intense, energetic, and interconnected, highlighting the spontaneity and uniqueness of Le’s work.
Please note that each of Annesta Le’s neon art pieces are individually custom created and handmade, these works naturally come with special markings and may create new markings over time. This is what makes each piece unique in nature. The unique handmade process of creating the work is what makes them one of a kind and the same shape cannot be created again, ever. Each piece is wired to be plugged into any grounded 3-prong US electrical outlet.
