This sculpture is created from a centuries-old oak trunk that was struck by lightning and burned out from within. Its natural curve formed a waning-crescent shape long before it became art. A bronze figurine of a praying man is placed at the base of the crescent, gazing upward. His prayer rug hovers slightly above the surface, adding a touch of magic, almost like a flying carpet from an old Eastern tale. A single candle is installed on a tall stand beside the figure. The flickering flame illuminates the bronze and casts soft reflections across the textured charred wood. In the upper part of the crescent, a metal star is suspended on a thin thread, catching the light and reinforcing the quiet, contemplative mood. The stand is made of Siberian larch and finished to echo the stone-like geometry of the sacred Kaaba. The surface of the artwork is protected with special wax and lightly tinted with gold pigment, highlighting the natural relief of the ancient oak.

The wood comes from three-hundred-year-old oaks that grew in the historic lands where Napoleon passed during his 1812 campaign and wrote a letter to Josephine.
