the Ember's song

Each copy of The Ember’s Song is a tactile archive of the group exhibition exploring the complex symbolism of fire—as destruction and renewal, memory and resistance. Each cover is a unique hand-assembled collage of vertical stripes taken from a participating artist’s work, forming a layered visual metaphor for fire’s fragmented and collective presence.

Inside, the catalogue features artwork descriptions and artist bios, alongside bold black stripes that run through the pages—graphic traces of absence, erasure, and what remains.

Before the show, we asked our social media followers one question: What does fire mean to you? Their answers—personal, poetic, and raw—are printed throughout the catalogue, creating a shared reflection on fire as both a force and a symbol.

Created not only to document but to extend the exhibition, the catalogue mirrors the show’s conceptual core. Fire is never still. It burns in silence and in riot, in grief and celebration.
