Probably what happened is artist RED decided as tribute to Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain," she should set fire to the rain, then realized you can't really set fire to the rain, so she set some candles on fire instead. The result is much less terrifying than actual flaming rain would be -- in fact, it's a pretty amazing portrait of Adele made using only melted wax.
