The crumpled steel sculpture bears a flame in its heart, with the internal colored glass featuring orange pigment that creates a flame effect when illuminated. The title was given by the renowned critic Gillo Dorfles, who closely followed the artist. It uses an E14 light bulb, 3000K, to enhance the flame-like glow.
