Fire. One of humanity’s greatest tools since the beginning of time. We harnesses its power; it lit our paths and raised civilizations.

I have always been fascinated by the beauty and unpredictable forces of natures. Some of the interpretations of these works address my thoughts dealing with cycles of nature as well as human life.

Like nature, the element of fire and its property can be harnessed for useful purposes. On the other hand, because of its inherent characteristics of unpredictability and extreme volatility, fire cannot be easily be easily tamed.

The video entitled Inside the Circle explores and addresses my deep curiosity with the cycles of nature. My interest in nature is rooted from childhood experiences where I lived near rivers and mountains in Vietnam. Than and now, I find great joys and comforts when I have the opportunities to experience various bodies of water, forests and living creatures that embody those habitats.
