“The world is on fire, as the world is always on fire, but maybe more white people like me are smelling the smoke.” –Dr. Chris Byrne, Physics faculty at Cascadia College

“I have seen fires burn in my community before. I am interested in the kind of flame that will inspire people to vote, to reform systems, save lives and to serve, protect and build.” –Ed Taylor, vice provost and dean of Undergraduate Academic Affairs and professor of education at the University of Washington

The painting on this piece is meant to be folded and unfolded to see both sides. Please be careful as you touch it. The burnt pieces are delicate, so I realize they may accidentally fall off.
