SALAR CANDLE HOLDER
SALAR is a sculptural candle holder, composed of a sand-cast bronze base, and hand-carved volcanic stone candle holders. The shape is a representation of the traditional process used for the production of salt in colonial times. In Salinas de Ibarra, a region in the north of Ecuador, the salt was filtered from the ground, and pressed into currency units.
