In order to exist, Bonefire required a significant number of mirrors. Old discarded mirrors which had belonged to strangers. Progressively, they loose their respective unity to the benefit of the piece as a whole, in particular through the treatment of the surface that make them merge together.
A piece that is both ample and imposing like a pyre, whilst at the same time light and delicate like glass.
