This piece emerged from thinking about fire not only as a natural disaster, but as a mirror of the systems meant to contain it. In places where fire has become a constant threat, the response is often tangled in politics, bureaucracy, and codes that seem more rigid than effective. What should be urgent action turns into a theater of insufficiency.

The image of burning letters became a metaphor for a city both iconic and vulnerable — a place celebrated for its myth but unprepared for its reality. The tension between spectacle and prevention, power and impotence, is what drives the work.

For me, it is a satire of how crises are managed: grand symbols left to burn while those on the ground are given too few tools, too little support, to face the scale of the problem. It is both absurd and tragic, a reminder that sometimes the systems meant to protect us end up fueling the flames.

One of a kind original artwork.
