The Burned Ones explores fire as a shifting force rather than a single symbol. Across the collection, flames appear as threat, shelter, momentum, revelation, or aftermath—sometimes centered on a figure, sometimes overtaking the space itself. Each work uses fire differently, allowing meaning to emerge from context rather than repetition. Together, the pieces examine what it means to exist near intensity: to be shaped, illuminated, or destabilized by heat. The collection resists a fixed narrative, instead presenting fire as a language—spoken in many tones, understood through experience.
