Amber Glow: A Candle's Life Cycle

Project type

abstract

Date

November 2025

Location

New Mexico

This eight-photograph series documents the complete, transient life cycle of a flame, transforming the simple act of burning into a profound visual narrative.

The collection begins with the moment of creation, moves to the living light, and concludes with the final, poignant act: the flame being extinguished, which marks the dissipation of the light. Each frame, is a study in quiet intensity and visual storytelling.

The series elevates a commonplace object into a metaphor for existence, capturing the quiet dignity found in creation, life, and inevitable release. It is a compelling visual essay on time, energy, and the quiet beauty of an ending.
