"Food, candles and flowers have gathered together for centuries- at tables, altars and celebrations where love and ritual meet. Their presence feels both human and sacred, marking moments that pass swiftly.
In this quiet offering, impermanence becomes visible. Porcelain insists that time stands still, it captures the Miss Haversham impulse within us all- the instinct to preserve what is already vanishing.
Melting wax, fading flowers and food that soon disappears. They echo the ephemeral quality of existence, the inevitability of change; but this scene is captured in porcelain and will out live us all."
