At the heart of the artwork, a pentagram formed entirely of living grass rises from a moonlit clearing—grown, not drawn. Each of its five points is crowned with a golden candle, their flames steady and deliberate, anchoring the rite in balance and elemental harmony.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the center burns a sixth ritual candle, enclosed within the powerful coil of a crimson rattlesnake.
