New Fire: To Die, To Die

Digital moving projection illuminates individual, abstracted paper hand art pieces, symbolizing the collective of humanity. The time based fire imagery draws inspiration from the Aztec New Fire Ceremony (Xiuhmolpilli) in ancient Mexico. This ceremony, marking the conclusion of a cycle in the Aztec calendar, involves extinguishing and reigniting a sacred fire to signify renewal. It symbolically burns away elements from the old cycle, paving the way for a new beginning.
