Ritual Fire
--
A dramatic acrylic painting on wood depicting a nighttime ritual around a blazing fire. A circle of white‑clad women kneel in quiet reverence as three men in red skirts hold long poles directly into the flames. Warm firelight reflects off fabric, skin, and smoke, creating a powerful contrast between purity, heat, and ceremony. A striking cultural piece with strong narrative energy and elemental atmosphere.
