The flames of Universe of Fire Particles change shape due to a black absolute presence.
Flames are a phenomenon of light and heat generated by combustion; it is a vaporized or decomposed substance in a state of flow. It is our sensory experience of seeing what is in between phenomenon and substance. People perceive fire as a single object through this sensory experience, and may even sometimes feel life in it.
Lines are drawn in relation to the flow of combusting gas in the mass and the flames are created by the accumulation of those lines in three-dimensions. The lines are then “flattened” using what teamLab considers to be Ultrasubjective Space to represent the flames.
