TheIlluminant 1 making every candle holder uniqueA beacon of stillness in a world in motion. TheIlluminant 1 is a distinctive object within the collection of Dirk Vaessen. Where his work often explores identity as a philosophical foundation, this piece begins with a longing for light both literal and symbolic. As evening falls and the candle slowly burns down, the shadow it casts begins to shift and deepen transforming the surrounding space with quiet movement, like a living presence on the wall.
