ABOUT THE SERIES

I saw Natalia perform the previous evening and asked afterwards whether I could return the next day to take photographs. This six-image selection follows her face, hands and movement. A small flame alternates with the broader light of fire fans, with the evening city behind her.

Natalia holds burning fans in front of her chest, with a dim building facade behind her.

Natalia crouches low and blows towards a fire bowl on the cobblestones.

A close view of Natalia watching a flame between her hands in front of her face.

Natalia balances on one leg with fire fans spread wide; a fire bowl burns in the foreground.

Natalia kneels and tilts her head towards the burning fans against the evening sky.
