CULTURE | THE ELEMENT
“Move swift as the Wind and closely-formed as the Wood.
Attack like the Fire and be still as the Mountain.”
The Art of War, Sun Tzu
PLAYING WITH FIRE:
The Fire Element
Fire has always provided one of the most
prominent metaphors, spanning different peoples
and cultures. This significant element represents
purification, destruction, power, energy, and
transformation. Moreover, thanks to its versatility
and practical uses, harnessing fire was an
important milestone in early human development.
