Surreal Fallas Ninot Burning Under Giant Koi in at a festival street procession in Izmir

Surreal Fallas Ninot Burning Under Giant Koi

by Jason Strickland

Brilliant orange flames consume towering wooden ninot figures along a street in Izmir during late summer. A massive koi fish, glowing with internal light, hangs suspended in the night sky above the procession, its scales shimmering in the lighthouse-sweep illumination. Dramatic, dark clouds swirl around the impossible creature. Below, crowds gather in the shadow of the burning giants, their faces lit by the flickering fire. The symmetrical composition centers the burning figures against the dark sky, showing the spatial gap between the earthly flames and the aquatic giant overhead. One flame flickers at the tip of a ninot's arm, casting a sharp, dancing shadow on the cobblestones.
