Potential Combustion
kyle warner, 2003 – colored paper on illustration board
A frame-by-frame look into the life and death of a match. Its life so short and fragile, it’s potential so huge; this one match could start a forest fire. It could burn away all the dead lifeless growth and make room for the new. Or it could provide warmth to eager hands on a cold night. It can heat food and cook it. All of these possibilities lie ahead. This match, this match will light a cigarette and quiver its last flame as the oxygen is inhaled through it. It will fight to spark alive again as it is shaken out with a wisp of smoke and thrown to the wet ground and crushed by the bottom of a foot. People aren’t so different.

That's awesome Kyle. Plus incredibly appropriate. And very nice commentary on meanings.
thanks grant. it posted the wrong way, it should read from bottom to top the way it is now. but blog won't let me change it. grrrr.
nevermind, i fixed it.
Actually, I knew which order it went in, but I thought that maybe you purposefully put it in that other order when displaying it just to make people really look at it and think more.
