Calcifer

This is my Native American Taos Pueblo version of Calcifer, crying and burning as strong as it possibly can. Fire holds a deep meaning for me — when you’re camping or sitting by a fire, there’s a respect you have to show. It’s alive, powerful, and should be treated with care. I’ve always loved Miyazaki’s films, especially *Howl’s Moving Castle*, and this piece draws from that inspiration. The fire is a symbol of life, strength, and spirit — something to be cherished and respected.
