Fire 3X is the sister painting to LIKEIT❤️❤️❤️, exploring the profound influence of digital culture, media saturation, and technological perception. Featuring fragmented figures that seem to fall, float, or glitch through reality, the piece visually represents the tension between external media influence and internal experience—a reflection of our hyper-connected era.

But this painting doesn't just depict fire—it gives it to you.

🔥 Powered by 8th Wall WebAR, this experience is triggered by an A-Frame image target—simply scan the QR code and point your device at the painting to unlock the augmented reality surprise:

• A CG-animated hand, meticulously modeled and animated in Maya, reaches out from the abyss, emerging from the painting into the real world.

• It conjures a glowing fire emoji in its palm, a fleeting gesture of digital affirmation.

• The flame vanishes, replaced by a heavy metal "rock on" gesture, signaling that all is right in the world.

This playful yet profound AR interaction underscores the ephemeral nature of digital validation—a fleeting reaction, a momentary spark, and then, just like that, it’s gone. But the energy remains.

With bold strokes, fractured forms, and electrifying colors, Fire 3X explores the fine line between virtual affirmation and real-world emotion, transforming passive observation into active engagement. The painting is lit—literally and figuratively—blurring the boundary between physical and digital, inviting the viewer to step inside its world.
