I kept thinking about how crying makes you feel so much better, no matter whether you feel pain or grief.

I made this series to let the art cry, rather than let myself cry.

After securing the canvas to the ground, I let the candle wax drip and created art from it.

I began expressing myself artistically with candles in 2003.

I find dripping candlewax comforts me, and the matière the candlewax creates exceeds the limits of my imagination, so I created many pieces as part of a series.
