"The Infinite" has been a year in the making. Candle-making emerged as a way for me to feel connected to myself. I was under a lot of stress in my previous job and I needed a creative outlet during the pandemic. I began working with my hands, and candle-making became a therapeutic hobby as I learned to mix my favorite botanicals, scents, and waxes together. Each time I made and lit a candle, I was
reminded that I, too, was a spark. I, too, needed to take tender care of my flame. I began to light candles for loved ones who passed as the pandemic went on. I would create a memorial for them in my home and make a candle to honor them. I would light their candles and send loving thoughts, prayers, and warmth their way. Ultimately, I prayed that the warmth and intentions from my candles would reach them and fill their souls with light. In July 2021, I lost my precious little brother, Brian Walters Yang. Three months before Brian passed away, Brian and I shared a conversation about the great beyond. He asked me curiously, “What happens to us after we pass?” I shared with him that I believed we continued to live on, but with a different purpose: we continued to navigate the world as ancestors and infinite beings. I also told Brian that I believed we shared an infinite connection because we carried such a kind, loving, supportive sibling relationship, and I raised the belief that perhaps we had always played a part in each other’s past lives. We just don’t remember it. Brian sat in silence, giving him time to process my message, and in his most stern voice, said he agreed. He shared with me that he believed we had always been in each other’s multiple reincarnated lives, and that we will always be infinitely connected to each other even after we passed. When Brian passed away in July, I did not know these words would come back to guide me as I grieved. I believe that even though Brian is no longer alive with me in the physical world, he is alive in the spiritual world - in the land of our ancestors. Though I am terribly devastated about his passing, I truly believe our connection remains alive. We will reunite again. Love after death after life has no bounds because love transcends. My candles are called “The Infinite” in honor of the infinite connection I share with my precious little brother. Every candle I make is an extension of my love for him. “The Infinite” is in commemoration of the infinite connections we all share with our ancestors, the universe, and ourselves. I hope that your life is filled with warmth and joy when you receive my candles as they are made with the deepest and purest intentions of love. I hope that each of you feel infinitely connected to the divine connections you all seek through the power of my candles. Thank you so much for taking this opportunity to learn about my story.
