The humanitarian organization worked with the Ogilvy & Mather ad agency and German artists Mark Landwehr and Sven Waschk of coarse to create 30 "Freedom Candles", each representing an injustice that they are fighting to end. The molded wax candles melt away to reveal little bronze sculptures, though it almost seems like a shame to destroy the incredible shells. On April 19, the candles will be listed as auctions on eBay with the proceeds going toward the important efforts of Amnesty International.

Check out the promotional video below and head to amnesty.org for more information about the #FreedomCandles and the organization.
