This work captures a fleeting moment of dancing flames, like a gathering of spirits gracefully swirling in the darkness. The orange-red glow flows over the surface of the wood, twisting, stretching, and rising as if alive, evoking a primal reverence and fascination with fire. The stillness of the dark background highlights the vivid motion of the flames, creating a striking contrast that symbolizes warmth and hope born from silence. Between the transient and the eternal, between flicker and glow, the flames tell a story—of existence, of passion, and of the passage of time.
