In this piece, fire symbolizes an intense feeling that comes with love. Love is often compared to fire, as both can be destructive or empowering. This is an attempt to show a warm feeling of a past romantic relationship and how it changes in our memories as time passes by. At first, it's a burning sensation of recent loss shown in black, then a mixed feeling (and therefore a mix of colors) of nostalgia, about good times shared and a sadness that they are never coming back. Finally, there are peaceful and romanticized memories where everything seems better than it was, shown in shades of gold and serene blue.
