About this artwork

This photo was taken with the influence of a poem by Boris Pasternak "Winter Night". The central image of the poem is a burning candle, symbolizing a saving light among the darkness around. The refrain «candle burned» is repeated several times, emphasizing the importance of the image. Excerpt from the poem: Мело, мело по всей земле Во все пределы. Свеча горела на столе, Свеча горела. Snow, snow, all the world over, Snow to the world’s end swirling, A candle was burning on the table, A candle burning
