“Crucibles” - a small portable Alchemist laboratory of rusting boxes glow orange with the embers of fire; the essential ingredients for the transformation of base metals to gold. Placed in front are supposed samples of alchemy. The work tries to capture the myths and mysteries of alchemy and its many stories.
