Comments:

"This work was staged for the camera. It provided an opportunity to work with the most ephemeral of elements. The work is an emphatic declaration that the world is in flux, and depicts the simultaneous creative and destructive forces of heat, of light, of energy. Above the primordial pool distinct rays of light emanate from the unseen source." (KJ-AG)
