Water poured into the mold
gripped the concrete
until it took shape.
It said,
light a fire
so our hearts won’t burn…
Paraffin and concrete in the form of a burning sphere
Rikhtaar First is a simple and pure attempt at exploration in form and material composition. The sphere form, as an ideal volume on a solid concrete base, reaches the burning flame of a candle that until it melts, time in the space between the soft lines of paraffin and concrete is the gentle music of burning. Perhaps you can place this sphere somewhere not so far that its burning cannot be heard and not so close that your foot hits it; but don’t crowd its surroundings. Let it not be lost in our world.
