## Title Mirth Pillar

## Subtitle A 3 by 2.25 inch beeswax pillar, hand-poured in upstate New York from an antique mold. Forty hours of light from a single object.

## Description Most "embossed" candles in retail are paraffin or soy-paraffin blend with synthetic fragrance, pressed into modern molds and dyed in food-safe color. They burn for a few hours and pollute the air slightly while doing it.

The Mirth Pillar is the opposite. The mold is replicated from an antique — the relief carries a pattern that has not been in mass production for a century or more. The wax is pure beeswax from Alysia Mazzella's hives in the Hudson Valley. The wick is cotton. There is no scent added because beeswax already smells like beeswax.

The pillar burns for forty hours. The relief softens slightly with each session, the way an antique would.

Every purchase funds one sauna session for one cancer patient. Forty hours of light from one pillar; cancer treatment is measured in hours of warmth and hours of rest. The pillar gives a precise dose: light a session, blow it out, light another.
