I titled my design is ***The Deadly Trio***. We're all familiar with fire and the elements required to produce it. Fire is a powerful substance that is actually a chemical reaction called combustion. The reaction occurs in the air with some type of fuel. Fire is the visual effects of that combustion. The three elements required to produce fire are heat, a heat source such as fuel, and air. This combination is known as the fire triangle. The fire will continue to burn as long as the three elements are present. The intensity of fire determines the longevity of its burn. I liken the fire concept to that of a romantic relationship. This concept is also a triangular body encompassing three elements to survive. The elements are intimacy, passion, and commitment. As long as the three elements of a romantic relationship is present, the relationship will survive. However, unlike the chemical reaction of fire, human relationships can lose one element altogether or the element may be temporarily lost, and the romantic relationship may be able to still survive. The key to the survival is feel is communication and trust. If trust is broken in any variety of ways, then danger ahead can be readily foreseen. It's well documented the practice in ancient times or in the not-so-modern times, of relationships that were arranged that removed one, two, or all three of the elements needed to survive. The arrangement or contract between the parties served as a mutual benefit or cooperation between the families, regions, or countries. It's also known that external stressors and pressures can cause the breakdown of a romantic relationship. Just as the intensity of fire determines its longevity, the intensity of romantic relationships can also determine its outcome. I prefer the traditional triangle when it comes to romantic relationships. ^{[Source: 1](https://www.nwfirescience.org/sites/default/files/publications/FIREFACTS_Triangles.pdf) [Source: 2](https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/resources/747-what-is-fire) [Source: 3](https://www.symbis.com/blog/the-3-core-components-of-romantic-love/)}  In developing the fire theme, I wanted to portray a powerful alien infused with fire. Then, fire surrounds the creature in several ways. For the creature, I retrieved the image from the stable diffusion program, StarryAI. Activating the Fantasy Style, I was able to retrieve results with the Prompt: ***"Storm clouds spitting fire."*** ||||| |-|-|-|-| ||||https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/justclickindiva/23x195tF6AyUZ2Wt7kZBKxjDGGddtCFybaSqmXXnZQzSbhbPaBFbGWWxXQKcPSNxVzcLo.webp| I chose the fourth image as the alien to represent the fire theme. Also, I retrieved a fireball scene from another stable diffusion program, Night Cafe. Lastly, I included one of my pure fractals I created in the advanced fractal rendering program, Apophysis 7X. Together with the other images, I created the scene in Canva utilizing the tools offered in which I began with a blank, white canvas. Next, I added layers for each element.
