A ceramic candleholder composed of twelve parts forming a fragile topological configuration — an echo of the circular structure of an esoteric ritual. The fragments resemble vertebrae, composing a phantom spine: the body is absent, yet its memory insists on returning.
Conceived as an object of excess, it does not contain the flame but stages its aftermath. Wax flows, settles, and leaves traces — a gesture of transgression and release rather than control. A Bataillean inflection is audible here: excess and the breach of limits as a condition of the sacred. Lighting the candle becomes a collective rite in which time, touch, and substance converge in slow erosion. Between the erotic and the sacred, an immersive relation unfolds — not instrumental but sensuous, arising from weak entanglements of material, gesture, and ritual.
