“The Burning House” is a hyperrealistic pencil drawing of a man with a mixed and confused expression on his face. Looking at his childhood home burning down right in front of his eyes, he realizes that the place he has lived all of his life is gone, and he will never get it back no matter how hard he tries. This is a metaphor for the fleeting essence of childhood and the mountain of responsibility that needs to be climbed after growing to a certain age. The necessity of maturity and self-discipline is immediate and hard to achieve when childhood is all you have ever known. In that sense, it is like looking at a childhood home burning down as you have to move on to even more triumphs and hardships along the road of life.
