Process

The design process was straightforward. It started with the idea of ritual remembrance and lighting a candle as memory, and from there took the shape of the votive candle. The ideal end product would look strikingly similar to a rack of candles that could be found in a church. From there it was a process of scaling back for a prototype, going from 31 candles to 10, and developing an offline hardware that could function for demonstration purposes.
