The design for my candle holder came from a number of sources: first, the idea came from the shadow candle holders that I had seen at the Christmas market. Then, when I was actually looking to design the candle holder, I searched on Google for other types, and decided that I wanted a box-shaped candle holder. Then, for the cutout, I drew my inspiration from the musical "Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812." I am a huge fan of musicals, particularly this one, and had just been blown away by the set design when I went to see it. Hanging from the ceiling in the theater were over 20 of these giant starburst chandeliers that became somewhat symbolic of the show, and I wanted to design the light projection for my candle holder around those chandeliers.
