When we light candles, is it ever something that we give alot of thougt about before lighting it. Is it supposed to make us think twice or give us some kind of power. The candle it self originally has the sole purpose of giving us light hue and later maybe a good aroma. But the candle can give us so many feelings. The candelabra is designed with the feeling of experimental feelings and also this independent sense of choice. Watch the wax drip down and form wax puddles that remind freshly flowed lava or just to let it be and never light it on fire.
The candelabra was molded in clay and then a silicone mold was taken off of it. Gypsum mold is then made around the silicone for reinforcement. Both silicone and plaster molds are made in in two layers so that a cross section of the candelabra is in both casts. Candle wicks are placed and the molds are then closed. The bottom of the mold is open and the wax is poured from there. The size of the candelabra is 20x30cm
