As part of the new direction of Winzavod.Gravity and the exhibition "What are you afraid of?" the team of the local brands shop LCLS.RU together with the Moscow brand of craft interior scented candles Unification love present a unique line of candles "Obsidian".
The concept of the candle is inspired by the works of the artists of the exhibition
"What are you afraid of?", where the anxiety of loneliness and the search for a reliable, safe home are among 29 fears.
The candle in the form of frozen lava symbolises the inevitable and steady approach of danger. It slowly melts, releasing red-hot lava that gradually floods everything around it. This serves as a metaphor for the imminent onset of something negative or threatening that cannot be stopped or avoided. The light fr om the candle creates an illusion of safety and cosiness, but as the wax melts, the lava begins to protrude outwards, reminding us of the hidden danger that could descend upon us at any moment. This image can be used to convey feelings of vulnerability, anxiety and inevitability in the face of danger.
Flavour: Dragon's Blood | Burn time: 4 hours. Produced in Russia in a limited edition.
The
Obsidian candle line is already available in the LCLS. shop at the
Winzavod Center for Contemporary art and online at
lcls.ru, wh ere you can also see a
special selection of 29 unique items of clothing and accessories referring to the concept of the exhibition.
