This project’s main reason lies on Juan de Yepes last night alive, known as San Juan de la Cruz, in the Carmelite friar’s convent in Úbeda. Occurred in the dawn of December 13 to 14, 1591. In order to achieve my goal, using again a handmade lamp made of waste material and built by humble masons to light up themselves in the darkness of their working area, I wanted to show the dualism of life through the runaway’s hope and its denial, of the spiritual freedom and its deprivation, of sexual desire and its forced repression. A lighthouse, leading the way, but also a decoy to get us into a trap. However, we will always possess a living light. A living flame of love. But, however, fragmented.
