About this artwork
Limited Edition of 15 (15 out 15 available)
One day I was watching a movie, and the screen filled entirely with flames — just fire against black.
It struck me. I thought: “That would look amazing printed huge.”
I jotted the idea in my notebook, but for a long time I couldn’t find the right fire to shoot.
So I gave up on waiting. I left the city, built a massive bonfire, took dozens of photos...
and tried to stitch them into a single perfect flame.…
It was awful. A Frankenstein.
Unwatchable.
Back then, there was no AI. So I did what I could:
I picked up my mouse, opened Photoshop, and painted over the stitched image by hand —
every stroke, every flicker, with nothing but a mouse.
What you see here is a true digital handcraft.
No plugins. No models. Just me and a burning obsession.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Dzmitry Rusak’s work has garnered international acclaim on numerous occasions, winning awards at competitions and festivals in Cannes, London, Moscow, and beyond; his images have been published by National Geographic and featured in the global touring exhibitions of the Sony World Photography Awards. Many of his pieces are held in private collections across the US, Shanghai, Paris, and Minsk.
In 2022, Dzmitry Rusak ceased his photography practice due to an injury.
In his work, familiar objects lose their recognizability; reflections and the distortion of light and shadow transform them into indeterminate forms. The artist’s distinctive style was shaped by a medical condition—visual agnosia—which causes a periodic loss of the ability to recognize objects.
