Fire

Some of Thai art pattern like "Kanok" inspired by nature form like fire. But I do not believe textbook much cause I never seen rolled fire like "Kanok" before. Until recently I capture this picture, it has cleared my doubt that the fire that inspired artist to create the Thai art was not fire in kitchen or ligther. It is the fire in Budhism ceremony called "Lor Pha" or the fire that melt metals like gold or brass to mold buddha statue. It is very strong fire that can melt metal into liquid. I take this on Visakha Bucha day.
