Description:
Created during Chapter 2 (2020 - 2023), this piece is part of the Versions of Robert Collection—a deeply personal body of work reflecting my journey through my mother’s stroke, dissociation, and eventual dementia. This period of my life involved immense inner soul work, each piece acting as a page in a diary, often accompanied by a poem or story.
The Wild Fire Dragon embodies raw power, transformation, and the struggle between control and surrender. The dynamic brushwork and movement reflect a soul caught between destruction and liberation, battling between desire, purpose, and self-awareness. The dragon—symbolising both an untamed force and a guiding presence—asks whether we can embrace our inner fire without being consumed by it.
A piece that burns with the intensity of self-reflection, desire, and the untamed energy of the soul, inviting the viewer to embrace their own inner fire.
