Mirrored Prayer Candles in Kampong Cham Chapel

Soft monsoon afternoon light falls through sheer curtains, illuminating rows of mirrored prayer candles arranged within a wooden shrine. The polished metal surfaces reflect the fragmented colors of stained glass windows, creating a kaleidoscope of reds, blues, and greens that dance across the curved glass. Dust motes hang suspended in the shafts of pale light, while wet stone floors near the doorway hint at the rain outside. Each candle holder catches a sharp, bright highlight where the light strikes directly. The arrangement rests on a dark, varnished shelf that contrasts with the glowing reflections. One reflection of a blue pane appears on the rim of the nearest glass cylinder.
