A FIRE: CONTAINED
30×20 Acrylic on canvas
This piece explores the delicate balance between power and restraint, symbolized by the explosive yet controlled presence of vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows. The dynamic, fiery strokes seem to erupt from the canvas, yet the neutral background provides a sense of containment—an image of raw energy held within boundaries. The chaotic brushwork and textured surface reflect the intensity of emotion, while the subdued colors around the central fire suggest that even the most uncontrollable forces can be managed or redirected. The title speaks to this idea of containment: that within the fiercest passions and impulses, there is a quiet struggle to maintain control. The work invites reflection on how we navigate the tension between desire and discipline, and the internal work it takes to keep a fire burning without letting it consume us.
