CAPSTONE PROJECT
MOTH & FIRE
It is about the heat of the glass and the beauty of the moths. The moth itself is a metaphor for the pursuit of light and the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice. It is a fearless quality. The Fire is seen as a spiritual anchor, a yearning for something better. I think the story of moths and fire can represent several different loves. It expresses the courage to devote oneself jump into the flames for love.
