A mundane gesture turns into a introspective commentary about life. The grided order also serves as a Log; a record of activities that needed a bit of fire.
Precisely drilled holes help to align the matches in a grid, creating a sense of order and austerity. The matches embed themselves into a plinth-like structure, proportioned to feel like a monument — or a gravestone.
Wrapped in red-phosphorous strips and weighed down by metal inside the structure, the user simply takes out a match and strikes it against the object's body, lighting it, and then putting it back after.
