"Fireborn"

This work explores the ephemeral traces left by fire. What was once intense, raging, and devastating becomes silence, ash, and, soon, germination. Fire, though destructive, is also transient. This project attempts to capture that fragile temporality, where disappearance precedes rebirth. In these scorched landscapes, the ephemeral is reborn: a bud, a mushroom, a breath, a color. Nothing lasts—not even destruction. Fireborn reveals the fragile cycle between destruction and renewal.
