NaTerra Project - Fire
Feared and admired, fire is one of the fundamental elements for our survival.
Symbolically, fire represents a break with culture, with taboos and is linked to disobedience and courage.
​
Playing with fire has to do with luminescence, such as candles, the Sun, and bonfires.
These are also related to technologies such as television, cinema, video games and games with flashlights, light tables, among others.
​
They are also related to struggles and physical clashes and to what welcomes and gives a sense of sharing, of gathering, such as when we sit around a campfire.
Children who play with fire challenge order and fear, as well as encouraging achievements.
Fire toys are those that suggest bodily explosion, adrenaline, adventure, exploration.
Furthermore, at the Naterra Project, we associate fire with the desire to explore, with knowledge, with learning, after all, this is what motivated man to discover how to make fire. It is ancestral knowledge that has been carried over to the present day, and without which we would not have the society we have.
