Flowers and foliage populate the canvas and open white flowers emit curving pistols connoting fertility. In the bottom a spiky yucca plant conceals an abstracted, enlarged pomegranate and the suggestion of a volcano, both representative of sexual desire and rebirth. A curved snake frames a human female face, whose blue and black locks then merge with an abstract swirl of blue water on the left of the canvas. Above her, a purple salamander spotted in yellow crawls over a textual element of the work. Created with torn book pages the extending legs below suggest this is a human figure assembled from collaged text. Through both the layering process and the symbolism within the work, Saadatkhan captures the interconnectivity of fire and water, and more broadly the tie between each animal, plant, and human, to one another. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ramina Saadatkhan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53086258495815,"sku":"RSA0009","price":13500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/4257\/2871\/files\/DSC0351-EditHR.jpg?v=1769171610","url":"https:\/\/art.gazelliarthouse.com\/products\/ramina-saadatkhan-union-of-fire-and-water","provider":"Gazelli Art House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
