Smoke does not remain. It rises, unfolds, and disappears — leaving only a trace of what has passed. The Anicca Vanitas Incense Holder is conceived as a still form that gives space to this impermanence, framing a ritual defined entirely by transformation. Rooted in the idea of Anicca — the inevitability of change — and Vanitas — the reflection on transience — it exists not as an object of permanence, but as a witness to what cannot be held.
Crafted in polished brass, the surface reflects its surroundings completely and without interruption. As incense burns, ash is collected within the form itself — a subtle record of time passing, gathered and then cleared, without residue or insistence. Nothing remains fixed. Nothing is preserved as it was. Only the act of passing continues.
The piece can be made in different metals and finishes on demand. It doesn’t include the incense sticks.
