Circle of Five — Tealight Holder

Hand-molded from clay, five figures stand arm in arm in an unbroken circle, cradling a central space designed to hold a single tealight. As the flame flickers within, warm light plays across each raised arm and clasped hand — a timeless symbol of unity, sisterhood, and the strength found in standing together. Finished in a soft ivory-white wash with earthy rust-brown undertones breaking through, each piece carries the raw, weathered character of stone left to age gracefully in the sun.

Inspired by traditional Balinese clay-molding techniques passed down through generations of artisans, this piece captures the raw, tactile quality of handcrafted work — every fold, crease, and etched detail shaped by hand, meaning no two pieces are ever quite the same.
