I was the Moth to your Flame

by Nadia Rausa

I was the Moth to your Flame,
And you said to glow,
like Death.

For this piece, I was inspired by the premise that what we are drawn towards is not always safe, and sometimes, we may not even realize the harm being caused to us.

The drawing is framed by a page from an antique photo album (which is quite solid as it has book-board between the outer layers), with antique paper layered beneath the drawing. The drawing itself is drawn on 140lbs Stonehenge Aqua Hotpress paper and measures 2.5×3.75 inches. The total size measures 3.75×4.75 inches. Everything was hand-burned, and then sealed.

Please note that no outer frame is included—it is only “framed” by the antique photo album page. All antique materials were cleaned and sealed.
