A Sea of Little Fires
This zine is inspired by Eduardo Galeano’s poem Un mar de fueguitos.
The poem is a metaphorical exploration of individuality and interconnectedness. Some fires are humble, others vibrant; some are illuminating, and others destructive. Through these illustrations, my attempt was to capture the poem's emotional resonance and its vision of human connection.
"Some fires, foolish fires, neither light nor burn; but others burn life with such passion that you can't look at them without blinking,
and whoever gets close, lights up."
