| Abstract: | When steel is heated at 1500 degrees it turns into a liquid state. It lights up in an intensely luminous orange-red. In this red hot state it is pulled by gravity and drops, at its own pace. When it hits water, it is engulfed. The light disappears softly, slowly as the molten steel loses its energy and returns to darkness and to its solid state. That molten drop is so much akin to a drop of blood, to drops that make us reflect on the tragedies of humankind. |
