I titled my design is The Deadly Trio. We're all familiar with fire and the elements required to produce it. Fire is a powerful substance that is actually a chemical reaction called combustion. The reaction occurs in the air with some type of fuel. Fire is the visual effects of that combustion. The three elements required to produce fire are heat, a heat source such as fuel, and air. This combination is known as the fire triangle.

The fire will continue to burn as long as the three elements are present. The intensity of fire determines the longevity of its burn.

I liken the fire concept to that of a romantic relationship. This concept is also a triangular body encompassing three elements to survive. The elements are intimacy, passion, and commitment. As long as the three elements of a romantic relationship is present, the relationship will survive.

However, unlike the chemical reaction of fire, human relationships can lose one element altogether or the element may be temporarily lost, and the romantic relationship may be able to still survive. The key to the survival is feel is communication and trust. If trust is broken in any variety of ways, then danger ahead can be readily foreseen.

It's well documented the practice in ancient times or in the not-so-modern times, of relationships that were arranged that removed one, two, or all three of the elements needed to survive. The arrangement or contract between the parties served as a mutual benefit or cooperation between the families, regions, or countries.

It's also known that external stressors and pressures can cause the breakdown of a romantic relationship. Just as the intensity of fire determines its longevity, the intensity of romantic relationships can also determine its outcome.

I prefer the traditional triangle when it comes to romantic relationships.

In developing the fire theme, I wanted to portray a powerful alien infused with fire. Then, fire surrounds the creature in several ways. For the creature, I retrieved the image from the stable diffusion program, StarryAI. Activating the Fantasy Style, I was able to retrieve results with the Prompt: "Storm clouds spitting fire."

I chose the fourth image as the alien to represent the fire theme. Also, I retrieved a fireball scene from another stable diffusion program, Night Cafe. Lastly, I included one of my pure fractals I created in the advanced fractal rendering program, Apophysis 7X.

Together with the other images, I created the scene in Canva utilizing the tools offered in which I began with a blank, white canvas. Next, I added layers for each element.

The comparison you have made between fire and romantic relationships is interesting, and it is true that when trust is lost, something breaks and it is no longer the same. I speak from personal experience when I say that romantic relationships are not the same; something is missing, an element, just as something is missing for the fire to continue burning.

Your work is magnificent; the visual elements are striking and literally burn. Excellent work!

I appreciate the awesome compliment for my fire design. Yes, in order for fire to burn, all three elements in the triangle must be present. Just like the three triangular elements of a relationship. If one side is broken away, what remains can't be sustained. People can insert other, more important qualities into the triangle that they feel can sustain a relationship. It's subjective to each couple. But I do feel that the most important element, trust, is essential. If trust is lost, it can be regained. But this is a long, slow process, if indeed it ever returns. Again, the situation is dependent upon the individuals involved and their tolerance levels.

Thanks for your visit and keen insight from a personal perspective. I appreciate it and your support of my work, as usual. Take care and have a nice rest of your week.

Your fire art for the challenge is awesome, @justclickindiva! 💖 I love how you linked fire to relationships ✨ It's so smart and deep. Your artwork really shows off the power of fire ✨ Wonderful art! 👏

I was hoping the connection between the two would work. I'm glad you think so. Yes, fire is powerful, beautiful, and dangerous, just like human relationships can be. I appreciate your nice compliment for my design.

The connection between fire and relationships really profound for me. The visuals is pretty cool, a classic artwork

I'm pleased the connection between the fire elements and human relationships struck a chord with you. I thought it was interesting the similarities. But with human relationships, the connections are more complex. I appreciate your kind compliment for my design.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate it. Take care.

Yes human relationships is definitely complex

I agree. And what's tolerable for one may not be for another.

So so true

Hello @eve66. I appreciate you sharing my design on X. Thanks so much for your support. Take care.
