House of Fire
Synopsis
Flames close in from every side. Everything appears intact, yet all has already turned to ash. People run, resist, and hope—unaware that this was never a place to remain. Born into fire, each breath marks a quiet countdown toward dissolution. Through a dreamlike meditation on form and void, the work reflects on the absurdity of existence, the illusion of choice, and the suffering that never sleeps. In burning, there is awakening. In impermanence, a truth: nothing to cling to, nothing to possess.
