Three small flames that became one.

  1. 2018

    Tea at the Vesak dansal

    Kurunegala, Vesak 2018. We were handing out cups of tea side by side at the same dansal, and kept finding reasons to stand at the same table.

  2. 2022

    Our first lantern together

    Vesak 2022. Bamboo, coloured paper and a lot of patience. The lantern leaned a little, and we loved it anyway.

    Athugala rock, 2026. With the whole town lighting up below us, Dilshan asked, and Hasini said yes.
