Fire remains wild, increasingly so today, but its domestication changed the course of human evolution. If fire speaks, what is it saying to us, especially in an era of climate breakdown and mass extinction? How can photography help us keep and tend to our elemental relations with this element with care? In what ways do the many manifestations of fire bring us in closer relationship with our earthly kin? And how might our photography practices inspire us to sustain our own internal fires as darkness descends?
The Kinship community spent a season pondering these questions and our relationship with Fire through the practice of photography. At the end of the season, we came together in celebration and sharing of what we have learned through this element. These are the images that were shared in that gathering.
