{"title":"Tales from the River and the Hive","description":"\u003cp\u003eAleyè presents Svetlica, the candle practice of Anastasiia Grigoriadi, founded in 2021. The name refers to a traditional bright room in Eastern Slavic homes: a quiet space where women gathered to craft and spend time together. In a similar spirit, Svetlica exists as a small workshop where candles are poured by hand using an ancient technique, alongside drawing, writing, and collecting stories from the world of bees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe practice is rooted in childhood memories spent at the artist’s grandfather’s apiary. Surrounded by the hum of bees and the scent of honey, beeswax became a material both familiar and enduring. Today it remains the core of Svetlica’s work: a living substance shaped slowly by hand, where craft, nature, and memory meet.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/aleye.store\/collections\/tales-from-the-river-and-the-hive.oembed","provider":"Aleyè","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
