Detail cut
A small candlelight can bring warmth and energy into our lives. But there are moments when we crave something more intense, something that jolts the senses.
The thick scent of gunpowder carried through the air, the rapid clicks of camera shutters, the gasps and cheers from the crowd—all of it collided into one overwhelming moment.
It left a lasting impression on every part of my senses. For me, that scene wasn’t just beautiful, it was astonishing.
I began to see fireworks not just as a chemical and physical event, but as something deeply connected to the emotional energy I often explore in my work: vitality, intensity, and life force.
Even though fireworks disappear in an instant, the energy they release lingers. That brief moment leaves a deeper, more vivid imprint precisely because of its ephemerality.
