Friction. Fuel. Dynamite.
This is the moment I leap into life.
You catch me, hold me, take me in.
I am your promise.
You feed me, I feed you.
Your wisdom, my body.
I warm you, serve you, make your wishes come true.
Your absence, my chance.
I run –
I am erratic and fatal.
I destruct and erupt.
Nothing can stop me.
Now you will fight me –
Flicker. Fume. Afterglow.
I simmer, you gather.
Dwelling in silence until coldness decends.
Ashes to ashes. Fairy and phoenix.
trans41 deals with the diverse nature of an elemental force, a power everyone encounters, is drawn to, afraid of and depends on. It reaches beyond the territories of architecture into landscapes of politics, technology and sensory perceptions.
