Malibu Fire Angel -2000

Fixed within a shallow wooden box is a melted chunk of aluminum shaped like a figure.  It is affixed to a metal ring which has flatware knife blades attached to the right and left sides.  The knife blades, forming the wings, pierce the sides of the box.

Meaning:
The metal, refined by the Malibu fire of 1994,serves to evoke the image of an angel of fire.  The box is unable to fully contain the angel, and points to the fragile nature of our existence.
