In ancient times, considerable note was made of understanding the elements of nature, namely, fire, water, wind, and earth. The philosophers show them as a reflection of the universe and that they play a great role in the cosmic plan. Every day we warm ourselves by fire, wash ourselves in water, feel the wind in our hair, and walk upon the earth. Yet many will be amused that these same elements can be interpreted in various ways in relation to our daily lives. These elements are not only felt around us but have certainly become a way to express themselves in many ways within our "nature," like air for thought, fire for desire, water for emotions, and earth for stability. Fire is enthusiastic, warming, and a spark of life. It is a desire. It is the most powerful of energy sources and represents the spirit. It is the flame that flickers and glows in the sun; it attracts the eye. Fire is red and signifies delight, a zest for living, and the light by which we see. It is dynamic, moving, vital, and brilliant. Earth is the foundation on which we build our lives. It is the core of our senses and the colour of Earth and Fire life. It is the root of all beings. Earth is reliable and has an understanding of life. It is rich and dark, strong and yet tender while nurturing the roots, giving substance to the happiness we need. Earth is about stability, recognition, natural laws, dignity, respect, strength, understanding, acceptance, and nourishment. It is the foundation on which we build our lives. So making earth my foundation I decided to create objects that emitted the zest of light.
