Aspiration’ is a sculptural candle inspired by the Lady of Lebanon, Harissa. The Grande Dame watching over the coast and the mountain above the clouds is anchored in popular culture and mystique, disrupting the landscape with her alluring presence.
A poetic calling for elevation, « Aspiration » is a nod to the eternal hopes for a brighter Lebanon, birthland of myths and legends, fragmented yet molten together in solid grounds.
The translucent pink wax finely sculpted and striated evokes the shade of a softly burning sky, capturing the flesh tint of the blushing Madonna in her stone undulating robe.
Candlelight’s flickering adds warmth to the table and draws a whimsical space for wonderment and reverie. Taking inspiration from sensorial and architectural memory of the place, the symbol of the eternal flame of love for Beirut burns slowly, beautifying the remains in an unexpected manifestation.
