This piece explores the quiet unraveling of self – where beauty, pain, and transformation coexist. The figure, sculpted in melting wax, stands illuminated yet dissolving, caught in the tension between resilience and surrender. The flame, both source and destroyer, represents passion, burnout, and the consuming nature of emotional intensity.
She is not dying; she is becoming – slowly, inevitably. The melting is a metaphor for the moments when we are held together by nothing but heat and will. This artwork is about vulnerability in its most raw and sacred form: when you give so much of yourself that you’re left transformed by the very fire you carried.
