This is an experimental piece based on an audio testimonial from consciousness research facility, The Monroe Institute.
I eventually found it tucked away on the top shelf of a beachside home wares store in Sydney. I thought it was made of paper, but when it was brought down, I was surprised that it's actually metal - with room inside for a candle. So I had the idea to shoot the sequence starting with a 24hour time-lapse of a candle burning overnight and through the next day. It seemed to fit in with the time passing theme, and gives the sequence an odd look as the light changes around it.
The growing Bougainvillaea was also based on a real plant which my wife found and brought home one evening - thank you Yen!
The post work took around two weeks in my spare time.
