Fire is the origin of our humanity; it provides warmth, cooks for us, and brings us back to our roots as a civilization. To juxtapose this, fire is also destructive; it can take away what it gives if it is not managed appropriately. Art and literature have used the concept of fire for ages to symbolize life, death, and the concept of rising from the ashes.

I made this piece with the intentions of coming to terms with letting go of someone who was in my life for a while, specifically with how I found myself mimicking the little things he did once we diverged paths, things both good and bad. I wanted viewers to be able to see a part of myself in them in the same way I saw parts of him in me; to learn to pick up the pieces, put yourself together, and move on to better yourself, especially when left feeling broken, worthless, and unlovable from the pain you have endured.
