Ignited by Kira Pfoch

MEDIUM: Photography DESCRIPTION: This is a photo that I took intentionally that shows the fire of a sparkler. It presents a moment of ignition, flying ambers, and chaotic burning of the main fire. We can see the directed flight direction of the ambers of the preceding fire front. ARTIST’S STATEMENT: I am a graduate student in the department of forest and wildlife ecology. I work with satellite data from NASA to investigate and monitor human-environmental interactions and expanding settlements into woodland and investigate related issues, interactions, and wildfires. In my free time I am also interested in designing and creating designs, logos, and art.
