This didn&#8217;t result in any unintended fires because of the location, however, it led to me rethink the location of my final burn.

Therefore, I will instead light the sculpture on a beach where there is no forestry or flammable objects in close proximity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have also narrowed down my final sculpture design so something that mimics the shape of the sun. There will be a spherical center and dynamic &#8220;rays&#8221; extruding from the sculpture.
