The aesthetic value of work is created by a peculiar conflict of used materials. Being washed by thinner (dissolving) image is attempted to be saved by fire. While performing the fixer function, fire immortalizes the simulated “drama” of the disappearing image. The dialectic image appearing in the present work seeks to actualize narratives of a possibly mouldering memory.
