Frost Flowers on Moon Lichen Under Black Sky in on lichen-covered bark near Helsinki

Frost Flowers on Moon Lichen Under Black Sky

by Alexandria Yates

Delicate, crystalline frost flowers burst from the rough, gray-green surface of lichen-covered bark. The intricate ice structures gleam with sharp, geometric edges against the dark, porous texture of the bark. A harsh, white light strikes the scene from above, casting deep, immediate shadows that define every jagged point of the ice. The background is a void of absolute black, devoid of stars or atmosphere, suggesting the surface of the moon. Tiny particles of dust float motionless in the bright shafts of light, illuminated like suspended glass shards. Negative space surrounds the subject, showing the isolation of the frozen blooms. One, sharp reflection of the ice edge rests on a smooth patch of bark at the bottom right corner.
