About the Artwork:

The tiniest flames are intense but very fragile, breaking out into the heat and sparking at the slightest provocation. The highest flames embody ardor, such as they are perceived even though they might not live for very long. It is born and enveloped, searching and expanding before it is destroyed by the cold. This process may sound strange and abstract, but the truth is that it is all too real. As a fire burns away at its tips, the heat that it generates spreads far outward. The flame inside is absolute, whereas the heat on the outside is an expression of it.
