Ignis Nigrum-Black Fire is a contemporary mixed-media sculpture composed of clay, steel, wire, and wood, defined by charred surfaces and raw, vertical form. Scarred, twisted, yet defiantly upright, these remnants speak to endurance, shared experience, and the quiet strength forged through pressure and time. The work evokes our fundamental connection to others who stand beside us—equally altered, equally resilient—forming a collective presence shaped by survival, memory, and transformation.
