I believe Light and Living are intimately related.
Whether spending time alone or with others, light was always there.
Civilization began from "fire".
People gather around light to pray, eat, and talk.
Reinterpreting fire is equivalent to reinterpreting our life.
The acrylic resin has been shaped to create a particular form.
When light is shone from the bottom, a shot of light floats at the very top of the acrylic resin using the effect of refraction.
The acrylic resin balances itself and rises like a flame using a delicate 0.5mm bar. Affected by the surrounding movement and air, it moves delicately and slowly to create an ever changing light.
The goal of this object is not to mimic a flame.
It is the fruit of an experiment to reinterpret the presence of "Fire", and is the visualization of the adoration towards the magnetic force of the great phenomenon.
