When I was a kid I frequently visited Saint Sulpice church in Paris. This church in particular has an antique candleholder typology where the surface is covered with peaks / cones which act as the main holding structure for candles. This was a common visual language during the medieval period in Europe and is now becoming extinct and rare. Seeing this as a kid created a very distinct memory of mystery and complete mesmerization which I have tried to preserve and explore in this series of stainless steel sculptures.

Saint Sulpice is a sculpture that consolidates that memory and hyperbolises it. As a kid everything seems bigger, therefore the peak of the structure is stretched out and extruded even more, making it feel as if the candle is almost levitating. Stainless steel is brushed in order to create a more dream like effect when the fire flame is reflected, which brings emotional and sensual aspects to the material of heavy production. The sculpture is reduced to only one single peak which creates a special moment between the viewer and levitating lit candle.
