Insect Eye Reflects Cafe Patron at Sunset

by Bette Saunders

Warm amber light pools across the curved, hexagonal facets of a large compound eye, mirroring the silhouette of a person seated nearby. The geometric surface fragments the golden glow of the setting sun streaming through the cafe window. Inside the eye, a tiny, inverted image of a cafe patron emerges, surrounded by the orange and red hues of peak autumn foliage visible in the background. The light catches the glossy texture of the insect's head against the matte finish of the wooden table beside it. Sharp, tiny highlights rest on the individual lenses, while the reflection of a window frame creates a grid of light and shadow within the dark, glossy structure. A small highlight marks the edge of the eye's curve.
