Cicada Molting in Copper Spring Light

by Genesis Rodgers

Copper-toned afternoon light washes over a green branch where a cicada emerges from its pale, translucent exoskeleton. The insect's new body glistens with moisture against the rough bark texture. Behind the subject, a dense screen of leaves creates a natural frame, with several leaves caught in motion blur from a sudden gust. The early spring foliage appears fresh and tender, against the hardened shell of the molted casing. Dust particles float in the warm air, illuminated by the low angle sun. A sharp shadow of the emerging insect falls across the branch, anchoring the moment of transformation in the untamed landscape near Deir ez-Zor.
