A hyper-realistic antique candle with melted wax cascading down its sides, creating intricate organic patterns. Yet, instead of flickering, the flame is frozen in time—each wisp of fire perfectly suspended, glowing but unmoving. Tiny specks of ash hang in the air around it, locked mid-fall. The candle’s surface has delicate scratches, dust, and even the faint remnants of past wax drips, making it feel aged yet surreal. Shadows cast by the frozen flame seem unnatural, bending slightly as if time itself is unsure whether to move forward or stay still.
