When I was young I believed that if someone had a chandelier in their home they were wealthy and important. I felt that if I could have a chandelier then I could also be someone of meaning and prosperity.
Now when I observe chandeliers I still perceive them as a sign of wealth, but not a matter of significance and happiness. Wealth is not the answer to happiness, which is something I struggle with in desiring to be financially stable.
My chandelier is a portrayal of the decaying nature of wealth. A mansion in its day appears flawless, but will eventually corrode, collect spider webs, and loose the shine of spectacle. The items of luxury will wither away.
