The journey we make through dreams is a way of deeping our understanding of our surroundings, our ideas and concepts, our subconscious and also of transcending space and time and getting to the bottom of things, finding ourselves, and therefore God. The transfiguration of reality has much to do with what the world of dreams reveals to us, since it allows us to see a timeless perspective translated into symbols, as so happens in the poetic trance. Establishing a link with surrealists, Machado explores the terrain of the dream with a desire to express the ineffable in the dialogues with God, a dialog made possible through poetry.

This article aims to demonstrate the meaning is attached to fire in Erna Rosenstein’s poetry and art. Based on the pioneering analyses by Dorota Jarecka, I suggest that the particularly intense presence of fire in the artist's oil paintings, assemblages and poems is driven by the need to create a constellation of random objects, myths and autobiographical material centered on the experience of witnessing her parents' deaths in 1942. By analyzing various approaches to fire, I show that Rosenstein searches for a form of invigorating and evolving destruction in her poetry (which I define as “pyrophytic art”) which would enable her to fantasize about a world after a catastrophe, a world without human life. In this approach, poetry emerges as an extension of the ideas presented in her art. Taking at times narrative, fairy-tale or mythographic forms, poetry defines Rosenstein’s artistic idiolect in a more individual way than art could, allowing the artist's voice, her own speaking self, to be emphasized and dynamized.
