Odd / candle stand / 180 × 120 × 120
A burning candle is a truly organic being. The fragrance and breath of the flames as they flicker add moisture to the flowing wax, making it appear to be almost living. There is a fragility as it marches toward extinction that seems almost pitiful. Candles are valuable beings that satisfy the human measure of utility by providing us with light.
What kind of a holder could effectively present these candles? Circles and straight lines suggest eternity. As I thought about worthy forms, my mind turned to inorganic objets comprising geometric shapes. The candle is romantic, a combination of the "eternal" and "fleeting". The contrast between these two natures more vividly and palpably expresses not just the candle but the human beings who use it.
