Soft Casts #004: Konbini Candle
Born from a chance encounter in Japan, the Konbini Candle transforms an overlooked object into a subtle statement of beauty. I discovered this bottle abandoned on the sidewalk outside a Japanese convenience store, a rare sight in a country known for its minimal waste. Its unique form and unexpected setting immediately captivated me. I held onto this piece throughout my travels, eventually bringing it back to my California studio where I carefully molded and cast it in hand poured paraffin wax. The Konbini Candle is a slow melting work that marks the passage of time, quietly reminding us that beauty often resides in the everyday and overlooked.
