Avatāra

Hiroaki Takahashi


As communications using avatars are becoming widespread in the metaverse, a new question arises about how to "end" the relationship with avatars that gradually become identified with oneself. In this work designed to mourn for the relationship with a long-time companion avatar, we propose to transform the digital data of the avatar and the records of the days spent with them into the physical characteristics of the candle. Candles made by oneself may evoke memories of the days spent with that avatar, and the time it takes for the candle to burn away may bring a sense of mourning to their relationship.
