A compilation of photographs of fireworks against the night sky, constrained almost entirely to stark blacks and whites. Reduced to this narrow tonal range, the trails, explosions, and drifting clouds of debris become a series of simple, repeated formal elements -- arced lines, spherical bursts, and randomly scattered particles -- turning a spectacle into pure form.
