About the artwork

This powerful photograph captures a dramatic scene in which a diary has caught fire, creating an intense and surreal experience. The diary, with its simple cardboard cover, burns brightly as it lies open amid the flames. The fiery, orange and red flames lick viciously at the pages, as if feeding on the secrets and stories once carefully written down.

The paper quickly charred, and the letters came loose, floating like volatile black particles in the air. These letters form a chaotic cloud that escapes from the burning journal, like a storm of ink and ash blowing through the air. The power of the fire and heat create a visual spectacle that appeals to passers-by.

Thick smoke rises above the burning diary, filling the sky with heavy, menacing shades of grey and black highlights. This smoke forms sinister spirals and enhances the scene's oppressive and ominous atmosphere. Together, the smoke and fire create a sense of disintegration and chaos, accentuating the drama of the moment.

As an unusual and enchanting addition, flour floats through the air. This light, powdery flour is driven upwards by the air currents, forming a sharp contrast with the dark smoke and fiery glow of the burning diary. The flour dances through the air with a surreal and almost ghostly effect, giving the scene an added dimension of mystery and unreality.

This picture is perfect for art lovers and collectors interested in powerful, emotional images and surrealist art. It offers an in-depth exploration of themes such as impermanence, secrets and the destructive power of fire, and is a fascinating addition to any collection.
