This particular GIF is a depiction of a fire tornado. I found this particular form of GIF to be incredibly interesting because it balances the forces of nature, which is fire, with the side of man made interpretation of destruction that resulted in the creation of a fire tornado. Fire is the predominant symbol of Hell, and with tornados resembling destruction, all together puts two negative forces together to create the allusion of a powerful symbol.
The continuous spinning allusion I wanted the GIF to have the feeling that the tornado was possessing a never-ending feeling or a continuous emotion within it all. The contrast within the composition of the fire shows the different levels of heat paired with the momentum of movement. The lines within the GIF also allow the viewer to capture the most important element of the GIF, the fire, in the direct center of the frame. The colors in the background are dull compared to the bright and glorious element of fire that dominates the frame. The speed also adds to the composition adding a powerful intimidating aspect.
Really enjoyed your explanation of your GIF. It seems ever-lasting and realistic in all forms because fire is just fire. There is no way to change or create something better than fire from my perspective. I found your last sentence very intriguing and so true- "speed also adds to the composition adding a powerful intimidating aspect." By far my favorite GIF and symbolism behind it!
