Giant Teacup with Snowflake on Bark in on lichen-covered bark near Marathon Village, Nashville

Giant Teacup with Snowflake on Bark

by Jodie Mathis

Cool blue twilight light spills across a piece of dark fabric resting on rough, lichen-covered bark. An enormous porcelain teacup, scaled to the size of a swimming pool, dominates the center of the frame, its white rim catching the dim window glow. Perched on the inner curve of this impossible vessel sits a single, magnified snowflake crystal. The ice structure displays jewel-like precision, with sharp hexagonal arms and intricate facets that refract the blue light. The lichen on the bark provides a textured, organic contrast to the smooth, impossible ceramic. Shadows fall deeply into the cup's basin, while the snowflake edges glow with crystalline clarity against the dark surroundings. A fine speck of frost rests on the lip of the giant cup.
