In 2023, while collaborating with lighting artist Oskars Pauliņš, video artist Toms Zeļģis, actors Inga Misāne-Grasberga and Gundars Grasbergs, and the technical company "Full Stage" to create what was, to date, Latvia's most impressive light performance "Lāčplēsis" at the Likteņdārzs, my story with concrete candles began—initially in partnership with candle artisan Elīna Muceniece. The emotions from this monumental production and the events surrounding it still resonate deeply within me, so it is only natural that one of my candle collections is dedicated to "Lāčplēsis." Among all the epic's characters, Spīdala strikes me as the most intriguing. Mysterious, witch-like, dark and light simultaneously, noticeable and capable of transformation—my interpretation of Spīdala now continues to live on in this fiery collection of concrete containers.

Candles in concrete containers possess an exceptional quality: as the candle burns, the container's walls heat up and assist the flame in melting the wax, ensuring the candle always burns completely without leaving a layer of unburned wax on the container's walls. The base of the candle container is designed with sufficient thickness to prevent it from overheating and damaging the surface on which the candle is placed. If you remain concerned that the container might harm the surface, you can purchase candle coasters with a heat-resistant oak veneer coating from the "Candle Coasters" section. Once the candle has fully burned out, you can easily and simply refill the container with a new candle by acquiring palm wax granules in a 200-gram (approximately 0.44-pound) package from the "Bulk Candles" section. This package allows you to refill the candle twice. It includes two types of wicks and instructions for candle creation. Of course, after the candle has burned out, you may also insert any pre-made candle that fits inside the container or repurpose it for other household uses, such as a vase. The concrete container is not suitable for storing open food items. 

Product Technical Information. For the initial burn, allow the candle to continue until the top layer of wax becomes fully liquid (1-4 hours, depending on the container's diameter and the number of wicks). Before relighting, trim the wicks to a height of 1 cm (approximately 0.4 inches) above the wax surface.
