Collection concept:

Nowadays, people are faced with an overwhelming amount of information and need space to relax. A state of trance is a way I reduce this pressure. For me, trance is a kind of entertainment with the lowest cost. Holographic objects could save me from boredom anywhere and anytime. In such states of being, one can obtain many inspirations. In addition, for me candles are a source of security and warmth. I feel its light perfectly surrounds me, and I get a sense of belonging.I combined holographic surfaces and candles in an object to induce states of trance. The vivid colors and atmospheric effects will function to elevate and soothe the emotional state of those who experience it.
