  • When we earnestly wish for something, we pray in front of candlelight.

  • Jungki Beak experiments with creating the moment when a wish is realized.

  • In the installation, ten candle-powered generators encircle an egg incubator placed at the center.

  • The candlelight, embodying the wish for the birth of new life, generates a small amount of heat, which is converted into electrical energy by the candle generators to power the incubator.

  • In this process, the dichotomous boundary between the spiritual and the material blurs, and invisible hopes converge to give birth to new life.

  • Can the wish imbued in the candlelight actually bring a chick to life?
