Two candleholders "Blue Roses of Hope"

Two candleholders "Blue Roses of Hope”. Fired at 1200°C

These two candleholders are crafted in deep blue tones and shaped with torn, organic edges that echo the form of rose petals. Their texture and silhouette evoke the image of a flower captured at the moment of blooming — as if gently holding a small flame inside.

The artist conveys the idea that even in the most challenging conditions, beauty continues to live and grow. The rose here symbolizes childhood, tenderness, and the inner potential present in every child.

The blue color represents dreams, hope, and depth — the color of the sky under which all children of the world live, and the color of water, essential for life on the African continent.

The irregular, frayed edges of the petals are not flaws but traces of a journey. They speak of the hardships African children often face, and of the inner strength that helps them grow — like roses pushing through dry soil toward the light.

Together, the two candleholders symbolize double support:
• The light we bring to children — education, safety, care.
• The rose that blossoms because of this support — their dreams, future, and opportunities.
