The installation “Fire Melts Ice” was created to melt the isolation we experience in western society by reigniting the ancient memories of the communal fires that sustained our ancestors. Through this remembrance, it seeks to ignite the heart in passionate action for change on a personal and systemic level. 

In honoring our ancestors, plant, mineral, fungal allies and animal friends, we accept our place in history.  We understand it is what created the soil we walk upon every day. As children of Mother earth, it is our birthright to be nurtured by unfathomable physical and spiritual support, connection and guidance. 

The experience aims to move this gift from the unconscious to conscious relationship, stoking the fires inside the heart to melt the feeing of isolation felt deeply in our daily lives.
