Traditional handmade paper lanterns. A one of a kind lighting series byJasonKoharik 2024

There is an alluring quality about the hidden— The secret. The coy, the quiet, a shy-eyed stillness. 
A beauty beheld in the blushing and bashful.
—I am evoked by the traditional folding hand fans of the once far east. —Of the palm fronds of ancient Egypt. 
And then further fashioned through-out time for the aristocracies. — An identity symbol for the dignitaries and nobilities, an accessory for the literati to adorn their elegant life styles, and a carrier from artists and masters to express their talents and craftsmanship.— They are an attempt to attract, while at the same time conceal and veil, deceive. A provocation through elusion and evasion. —Eschewal. 
A silk and papered armor. Reticent eyes peering over a  parchment hoplon. A gossamer guard to let down. 
—A Love story, it seems to me, is best shrouded in this same secrecy. Concealed with in a courting cultivated in a quiet waltz.
She is dancing, dreaming. A measure so discreet she is barely moving. 1,2,3 1,2,3 —Hush. The Unsayable.

These paper lanterns are meticulously handmade and crafted byJasonKoharik. Occasionally adorn with dried and pressed florals. Bees wax sealed. 
A time consuming process, hand cut and layered.  Each most certainly one of a kind.  Bespoke—They will only be created in limited additions. 

With Unsayable Love,
Jason Koharik
