Selected for the Collegiate Student Art Showcase during The Ringling Underground
Between Flame and Shadow is a conceptual photograph exploring light, atmosphere, and narrative through LEGO-based storytelling. The scene captures a blacksmith at work, using controlled lighting, color contrast, and depth to create a cinematic environment within a small-scale build. Warm highlights from the forge are balanced against soft shadows to guide focus and reinforce mood, while composition and staging add a sense of story and place. This piece was selected for the Collegiate Student Art Showcase during Ringling Underground at The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art.
