Frozen Fire

I designed a lamp that captures the essence of a frozen flame. Unlike a real flame, this one can be turned on and off with a switch, appearing frozen in time. This concept symbolizes the PTSD experience, where trauma survivors are frozen in moments, ignited by triggers and traumatic memories, highlighting their struggles and emotions.
Trauma survivors understand that the cost of wisdom is high and the pain persists. The wise learn to bear their burden gracefully, shielding others from the intensity of their pain. The key is mastering the switch, not the flame.

In the quietude, it flickers,
A flame that burns not just with fire,
But with the promise of light.
