Rose Reliquary was born from the desire to give fragile things a lasting form
It does not preserve a bouquet, but gathers the quiet remnants of a rosebush within a single vessel
Peach miniature roses, closed buds, leaves, and slender branches rest across the faces of the cube
Fragments of gold appear between them like traces of something once treasured, scattered among the softened botanical forms
This piece holds the memory of a private keepsake — delicate, weathered, and carefully enclosed
Each candle is composed slowly, allowing every rose, bud, leaf, and fragment of gold to find its own place
No two are ever alike. No arrangement is repeated
Rose Reliquary is not simply made to be burned
It is meant to remain. To be held. To preserve what is fragile within a form of permanence
A sculptural botanical object, carrying a rosebush and its golden remnants within the geometry of a cube
