Architectural Candle and incense holders.

These are sculptures and functional objects. Miniature architectural structures designed to hold tapered candles, tea light candles, palo Santo, incense or whatever else has a place in one’s personal rituals, offerings, prayers and spiritual world. Inspired by the architecture and shapes of Lima, Peru, especially the way cultural identity survives in modern and ordinary things even as a big city evolves around it. These draw from the shapes, colors, and unexpected arrangements of the houses of Lima and simplified into playful, modern geometrically centered structures. The concept of the stairwells are recurring in my work and important to me, making a place of transition, in between, curiosity and potential into the unknown.
