Artist: Elara Duvall
Title: City Burns in Color
Description:
Every night, the city burns — but in Elara Duvall’s vision, there are no flames. Her fire blazes in color, and its heat rises from the depths of human emotion. City Burns in Color visualizes an eruption of feeling layered over the cold geometry of urban structure. The architectural silhouettes symbolize order, while the bursts of neon that spill across them speak the language of chaos. Magenta collides with orange and turquoise, creating a spectrum that embodies the city’s hidden pulse — the residue of desire, solitude, and fragile hope.
In this work, Elara treats light as the afterimage of emotion. Her flowing pigments fall not by gravity but by feeling, each brushstroke slicing through time itself. At that precise point, the city transcends reality and becomes a geography of emotion.
Artist’s Note:
“When the city forgets to breathe, color becomes its voice.”
