A candle silhouette projected onto the wall by the light of a candle. The image grows smaller at exactly the same rate as the real candle burns. This is actually a kinetic piece that moves by the burning of a candle. It is built like a scale which moves as the candle burns and loses weight. As the candle end moves up, the other end with a cut out of a flame, moves down, and gradually covers the candle cut out.
