A single candle stands against a deep, unbroken black background, its wax a pale, creamy yellow. The flame burns steadily, casting a soft, warm glow that illuminates the candle’s surface and subtly melts the wax at its top. A gentle curve of wax has formed at the side, a natural consequence of the flame’s heat. The candle’s surface shows slight texture, hinting at its material—likely wax with a smooth, slightly matte finish. The light from the flame creates a gradient, fading from bright yellow near the wick to a softer, muted tone toward the base. The surrounding darkness enhances the candle’s presence, making it the sole source of illumination in the frame. The atmosphere is quiet, intimate, and still, with the flame’s steady flicker suggesting a moment of calm endurance.
