Infernal Love

Adam Engström

Beneath Kyrkbron (the Church bridge) waits the martyr who, in an act of love, sets themselves on fire. With the intention of burning away every fear, every moment of uncertainty, every gnawing self-critical thought, they cleanse the shadows of the mind. When the sun hides its deceitful face, bathe in their light and share their pain.

This fire is endless, you are not alone. 
Praise the new sun.

The artwork depicts a huge face that exclaims in pain and anger, painted on a plywood sheet that imitates the shape of a flame.
