The same fire, divided in two. Half the tongues burn evenly and softly, half flare with sharp highlights — one flame shown at two temperatures at once.

The light is hidden in the upper part of each element and runs down the spiral — against the usual logic of fire. Because of that the composition reads not as a bonfire but as a torch, inverted and hung.

The sheaf narrows toward the bottom and ends in a few solitary tongues, the way a real torch ends in sparks.

By day it is a sculptural group: two textures arguing over one form. In the evening the argument ends — every tongue burns separately, and the whole vertical becomes a single flame.

Where it works

A vertical format for staircases, bay windows, double-height living rooms, tall entrance halls.

Style

Contemporary classic and neoclassicism: pale walls, mouldings, brass. The message is festive restraint — the composition is dressed up exactly enough not to become excessive.
