Zbynek Soukup. Rebecca ward. A Woman Made of Candles. I admit, this leans toward the creepy side, but it’s also pretty captivating too.
This wax woman embedded with candle wicks was made by A.F.Vandevorst (which I believe is a Belgian fashion label) for the Arnhem Mode Biennale 2011. Reminds me of this piece by Urs Fischer. (via lenn cox)
