Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
For a start I have chosen a more literal approach to the poem, showing the first imagery that comes to mind as the poem is read.
Fire & Ice (1/3)

This image, Fire & Ice (1/3), shows the morphing and joining of 2 different kinds of skies, a fiery sunset-esque scene representing destruction in fire and an icy storm ridden sky symbolising destruction in ice.
Fire & Ice (2/3)
Fire & Ice (3/3)

For Fire & Ice (3/3), I was going for the feel of desolation and abandonment after a raging fire and all life has evacuated. I gave this image a blue tone to suggest iciness and an eerie calm.
