Part spectacle, part schematic. Up top: a burst of palms, wheels, and stars lighting up the night. Down below: the calm before the chaos - every fuse, frame, and flourish carefully plotted. It’s not just a party, it’s a plan. And every letter has got a job to do.

Currently held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and part of ArdorU’s Fireworks collection.
