Description
Central image of five black and white firemen, a fire truck with four firemen and an abstract border. The lower part of the print contains a sleeping yellow nude female and a profile of a face with a nose in the act of smelling. "My work is closely related to personal experience. This visual poem tells the story of a relationship that was so intense that it was extinguished by the fire of passion. This love is being reborn through a new fire of life but it has to face a deconstruction of its past and in a cathartical experience overcome the present to be able to grow into the future." J.A. Aguirre
