About this artwork
In direct response to the raging fires happening in South Africa right now, and the devastating effect they have on the wildlife; This diptych channels Heraclitus explicitly: you cannot step into the same fire twice. Each panel feels like a different mood of flame — one luminous and eruptive, the other somber and smoldering — mirroring the duality within all living beings.
For a Namibian artist, fire carries ancestral weight: hearth, ritual, storytelling,… warning. Yet here it becomes metaphor for identity’s perpetual mutation. The self that meets the world today is not the self that met it yesterday.
The work critiques the expectation of static identity in a society obsessed with definition. It argues that to be alive — spiritually, politically, creatively — is to be in constant combustion. Through this lens, fire becomes not destruction but transformation, urging us to embrace flux as a form of empowerment.
Livia Schneider is a German-Namibian painter, installation, and multidisciplinary artist who works primarily in painting, printmaking, sculpture, and immersive installations—her practice shaped by formal art training in Cape Town and vibrant multicultural experiences in Berlin. She employs intuitive, process-driven techniques across organic forms and participatory structures, creating environments where materiality, repetition, and tactility invite introspection and reflection. Her artworks evoke deep feelings of connection, healing, and collective responsibility, encouraging viewers to experience art as a transformative, communal, and contemplative journey.
