This re-creation is the work of artisan-designer, Fackler Benjamin known for his thoughtful intention in the craft of metalworks and industrial designs. "The past is ever with us and transcends our existence. Engulfed in darkness, we are drawn to the light. My story is a stream flowing into an eternal river. I use elements with a deep history. They are my muse. They are my inspiration. I draw from their story. Their story is tied to my story. When I work with these elments first pulled from the earth, then once used in story preceding my story, I look to their light, I look into myself and create anew what was before and after shall be. It is in this space, with these elements, that I find illumination."
