Third in a series of exploratory works using other artist's content, this work quotes one of my favorite frost poems, Fire and Ice, and attempts to visualize it. I chose vaguely complimentary color schemes to emphasize the tension between the two dipoles in the poem, fire and ice. In the end, I wasn't completely satisfied by the result. I wanted to harmonize the two sides of this work a bit, to underscore the idea of the last stanza of the poem: "I think I know enough of hate to know that for destruction ice is also great and would suffice", where frost attempts to equate these evils in his poem.
