Installation of 24 quilted and adjustable vessels, each lit by LED candles, dealing with all the people that join you during the path of your life for a while ((grand)parents, partners, (grand)children, friends). The vessels were inspired by the little paper containers with candles that are put on rivers to commemorate the diseased (Japan, India).
The two veils of the installation symbolize birth and death. The placement of the vessels show that some people were there before your were born, some travel with during your life and others with be there after you have died.
