Through these photographs, I aimed to capture the resilience of beauty across the stages of a candle’s life, symbolizing the flow of human experience. Each image reveals a new incarnation – from untouched stillness of the candle and its wick to a smokey end – with colors and forms that illustrate emotional shifts along this journey. The candle’s light flickers, wavers, and ultimately fades. This series reflects a discovery of grace in transformation and the enduring beauty that persists amid life’s changing moments.
