I was trying to create a contrast between fire and water. I used foam sheets to create the flexible flames of fire. As the ocean is denser, it makes me feel that the ocean is more solid and less flexible, thus I used clay to create the curvy waves. It was entered in the 2011 Annual Juried Student Art Show.
