Fire #2
(2022)
Carved paper, mixed media on wood panel
10 x 10 in
Ashes series

Fire #2 compresses motion into density.

Heat narrows into sustained pressure.

Friction accumulates rather than explodes.

Momentum thickens instead of dispersing.

Change gains weight.

Transformation becomes mechanical.
