Temporal performance

In the ephemeral ballet of flames, I find a symphony of temporal metaphors unfurling—a transient spectacle mirroring the fleeting choreography of human existence. The fire, a luminal maestro, conducts a performance of flickering shadows and embered crescendos, encapsulating the essence of life's transience. Through the chiaroscuro dance of incandescence, I sculpt a visual elegy, where each ember's ascent becomes a poignant metaphor for moments ascending into memory's vault. In the sinuous trails of smoke, I perceive echoes of impermanence, a reverie painted in the ethereal strokes of time. As the flames waltz in a transitory reverie, I invite the viewer to contemplate the temporality of their own existence, caught in the ephemeral embrace of the fiery dance, where life's brevity is inscribed in the ashes of each moment.

In-person performance, August 2023 at the artist’s ranch in New Mexico.
