Approach

When recreating this work, I really wanted to retain the intensity that was in the flames and their vibrant colors. I simplified the color palette but retained the original shapes of the flames. I also wanted to draw more attention to the human remains. In the recreation, they cannot be mistaken for the flames. This makes it clear that the anxiety that is represented by the flames is affecting humans. Furthermore, I felt that there should be someone or something to blame for these anxieties. I added a figure to the left; it is in the darkness. It may be interpreted as an internal part of the human mind or the external causes of anxieties (and the flames).
