Title of Art Piece: Kissing The Fire
Category: Photography
Student/Artist’s Name: Claire Schneider
School: Juneau Douglas High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement: This piece reflects my fascination with moments that feel both intimate and volatile, using the small flame of a match to explore how light can expose emotion while hinting at danger. By isolating the mouth and the glow, I wanted to create a scene that feels close enough to be personal yet charged with uncertainty, as if something is about to shift. The warm illumination softens the features even as the fire introduces tension, capturing my interest in how a single spark can transform a quiet moment into one filled with possibility.
