A whimsical guardian opens her blazing mouth to consume demon-like figures, while women encircle the flames, tending a ritual of protection. The fire becomes a space of transformation rather than destruction, where fear, self-doubt, and intrusive thoughts are offered to the blaze. Through mythical imagery, the work imagines healing as a communal act.
