Candles serve as silent witnesses to the passage of time, embodying the concept of impermanence inherent in human existence. Their gentle flicker reflects the fragility of life, prompting viewers to confront their own mortality with acceptance and reverence. Through her work, Choi aims to evoke contemplation on the delicate balance between illumination and eventual extinguishment, and invite viewers to find solace in the fleeting moments that define our shared journey.

Textiles, inherently embedded with the notion of time, history, and human touch, serve as a fitting medium to explore themes of impermanence and transformation. The tactile nature of textiles, combined with the visual representation of candles, invites viewers to engage with the fragility and beauty of life's fleeting moments in a tangible way.

By utilizing textiles to depict the gentle flicker of candles, Choi emphasizes the ephemeral quality of both the material and the metaphor. The intricate weaving of fabrics reflects the intricate weaving of life’s moments, each thread contributing to the larger tapestry of our existence. This choice of material underscores the interconnectedness of all things, encouraging viewers to contemplate their own mortality with acceptance and reverence.
