The Path Taken by Fire

The papers she has used are burnt. Their edges are the black witnesses now and had been the precise path taken by fire. The wood is also burnt, but not consumed fully, it still retains its shape as charcoal.  Charcoal has become the three dimensional memory of fire. The fire has been extinguished, its movements over. The colors have turned barren by burning. The mirrors are still shining. The soothing soot on its surface is a new veil on the face of the viewer. The brittleness of a moment is attaining its form in reflections. An all are losing their rationale.

The paper trunks are burnet. The possibility of writing or drawing something on them are been narrowed. The paper has lost its pre-established notions. It is re-emerging in its new properties. Its edges as a black witness, which were the footsteps of the variance of fire, have become a territory of list rationale. Territory… or map..?

The map is the biggest dream of modern man. He wants to hold it as a metaphor to fisticuff the ambivalence of his relevance and rationale...

The world is burnt.

The ashes of that burnt world are falling freely from the territories of Sweety’s fists.
