In Dangerosa's "Slow Burn", a woman is depicted amidst a striking backdrop of zigzag patterns in bold shades of black and yellow. She stands surrounded by six candles, with one intriguingly placed between her breasts. The choice of candles imbues the piece with a romantic aura, symbolising the slow passage of time and the virtues of patience. However, there's a deeper narrative that emerges. The woman's blistered lips and bandaged fingers hint at a profound personal cost, suggesting she endures significant pain to truly experience and internalise each passing moment. Intertwined with these themes of endurance and patience is a palpable sense of eroticism. Dangerosa artfully balances the seductive allure with the eerie, making "Slow Burn" both captivating and thought-provoking.
