Velvet Crown was born from the meeting of depth, structure, and light
It does not preserve the rose in full bloom, but transforms its strongest elements into something almost ceremonial
Large crimson petals unfold with the richness of velvet, resting beside deep green rose leaves
Fragments of gold appear between them like broken pieces of a crown — scattered, imperfect, and still luminous
This piece carries the presence of something regal without ornament or excess
Each candle is composed slowly, allowing every petal, leaf, and fragment of gold to find its own placeNo two are ever alike. No arrangement is repeated
Velvet Crown is not simply made to be burned
It is meant to remain. To command the space quietly. To hold beauty with weight and permanence
A sculptural botanical object, carrying the depth of velvet and the fractured light of gold
