Lanterns symbolise the inner light that guides us through periods of darkness. They encourage us to find our inner strength by illuminating our life journey in the world. Delicate silk objects capture the light, creating shimmering effects and moving slightly when a person goes nearby as if engaging with that person, inviting them to stop, pay attention and enjoy the moment.
