Flare
Description
In Flare, Ani Abakumova captures the instant when calm turns to radiance — when an inner spark becomes visible. Thousands of fine threads, anchored by brass nails, form a face that seems to emerge from flame, not consumed by it but illuminated from within.
The warm hues of red, gold, and shadow intertwine in delicate tension, creating both intensity and tenderness. The gaze, half-veiled and half-revealed, suggests awakening — a presence that burns softly, as if thought itself had caught fire.Try it!
