This photograph was created by suspending a pair of thrifted boots from a pole against an open sky to form a strong silhouette. The surface of the boots was coated with a flammable gel, and a small amount of accelerant was used to intensify the initial ignition. Once lit, the flames produced a brief window—roughly one minute—in which their movement, shape, and brightness could be captured. The resulting image emphasizes the tension between the static form of the boots and the dynamic, unpredictable behavior of fire, using timing and contrast as the primary visual tools.
