Fire - Acrylic on Canvas

In this painting from the Elements Series, Fire symbolizes survival through trauma and the fierce process of transformation. A pale face emerges through the sweeping flames, suggesting both concealment and endurance. Rather than representing destruction alone, the fire becomes a force of survival-honoring domestic violence survivors and the strength required to endure, escape, and rebuild. Set against a cosmic field, the figure appears suspended between suffering and rebirth, making Fire the element of both pain and power.
