Liu Yi believes that fire is not merely a physical phenomenon; it symbolizes human emotions and desires, embodying the forces of creation and destruction. Viewing fire as an externalization of the passions and impulses deep within the human psyche represents a profound psychological projection of power, destruction, and transformation. In "Fire," this symbolism is transformed into flowing ink paintings, where the changing flames not only display their physical beauty but also deeply depict human emotions and states of mind. In this translucent "firebox," the audience becomes akin to prisoners in Plato's cave, with dancers and the flames in the animation reflecting each other, intertwining reality with illusion, light with darkness, destruction with creation... Together, we inquire.
