The 1,600 pink candles were made by artisans in Oaxaca, Mexico. To fabricate the candles, the wax was left in the sun for a few days to bleach its natural yellow color and then dyed with different concentrations of carmines. The work looks into the interaction between materials and environment, while the change of time implies the history of carmines. These pink candles would burn themselves out, a visual metaphor for the fragility of material history.
