about the piece.
In Niobe's words, "Fiat tenebra means 'let there be darkness.'  At the Babylost Retreat Weekend, I waited until everyone had gone upstairs, then I walked around the living room and relit all the candles."

  1. Wow, both the relighting of the candles and the photograph are amazing.

  2. I think relighting the candles is one of those small things that really speaks volumes, that in another context would be so easily over looked. Very powerful.
