Waiting to be Lit

Tedious hours of CAD drawing today and so I put the headphones on and listened to Laura Marling's album "I Speak because I can". Then, while the song "Hope in the Air" was playing, the following lyrics jumped out at me:

"My life is a candle and a wick.
You can put it out, you can't break it down.
In the end we are waiting to be lit."

Anyway, the beginnings of a picture jumped into my head.

So, a couple of candles, some long matches, a piece of curved black card, a bowl of water and then a whole lot of playing and this blip emerged from that germ of an idea.

Hope you enjoy it..
