Symbolic meaning
Lux is Latin for light. The candles in the image can be interpreted as symbols of consciousness, understanding and inner light. The flames standing out against the dark background can represent the ability to maintain a sense of direction amid uncertainty.
A burning candle also recalls the passage of time and the finite nature of life. The juxtaposition of the flame and melting wax introduces themes of both vitality and transience: light is produced as the candle gradually burns away.
The woman’s calm presence among the candles also allows the image to be considered as a symbol of concentration and inner steadiness. The dignity of her historical dress and the image’s unusual details raise the question of what outward appearances reveal and what remains behind them.
Symbolism is always multilayered and open to a variety of interpretations, which everyone can approach from their own perspective, enriching their understanding of the symbol’s different dimensions.
