LIGHT SLEEPERS

Art Design. Lebanon (2021)

Through the act of creation, notions of destiny, faith, survival, and meaning intertwine with the very experience of freedom—questioned, then given form. There is alchemy in clay: how it receives breath, how the fire’s embrace transforms it into a testament of rebirth. Each piece emerges as both witness and offering.

These objects are vessels of ritual—an invitation to place candles, to kindle light. The simple act of igniting flame becomes ceremony: a bridge between self and spirit, solitude and communion. They whisper that every hand holds the power to create its own light—to nurture sparks that grow, shine, and ripple outward.

Light Sleepers—an installation of 215 candlesticks—stands as a silent vigil for the lives eclipsed on August 4, 2020, in Beirut’s devastation. Here, fire becomes memory; wax, an ephemeral monument.
