Title: By Fire
Medium: Mixed Media on Canvas
Size: 9x12 in
A visceral blend of abstraction and collage, By Fire evokes themes of grief, rage, and resilience through layered textures and haunting imagery. The canvas is dominated by vivid hues of burnt orange and raw pink, interspersed with gestural strokes and smudges of white, black, and green. A photographic fragment of grayscale roses and ornate architecture anchors the upper right, partially obscured by the bold text “BY FIRE,” hinting at destruction and transformation.
A realistically rendered mouth emerges from the chaos—its lips closed, stoic, with amber teardrops falling from the face. Below, stamped or sketched heads form a crowd, faceless yet expressive in their anonymity. A clipped quote embedded in the lower portion reads: “It’s sickening in a lot of ways.”—a stark commentary on trauma, possibly systemic, perhaps personal.
Torn, scraped, and emotionally charged, this work straddles the space between beauty and violence, memory and erasure. It invites the viewer to consider what survives after devastation—and what is remade in its wake.
