5 Test Project — xihe.studio

This work assembles broken domestic objects into an altar-like structure.
Candlesticks, chains, and fragments of metal form a skeletal architecture that holds a fragile living element — a branch with exposed roots.

The structure resembles a ritual device: something built to contain, suspend, or prepare a body.
Organic growth appears within a framework of restraint, where chains wrap around the metal supports and the candle introduces time through slow burning and melting wax.

Using found and damaged objects, the work transforms remnants of everyday life into a quiet ceremonial system — a place where growth, decay, and control coexist.
