About the Artwork:
“FLAME is a painting that delves into the delicate mental state of one’s life, using fire as a metaphor for passion. The painting illustrates how this passion can be a source of warmth and a potential catalyst for burnout. The passion, like fire, embodies both negative and positive aspects; in life, we must embrace whichever aspect it brings. It symbolizes the dual nature of passion, inviting viewers to reflect on the balance between its positive and potentially overwhelming effects on our lives.” – Yuki Murayama
