Lichen on Basalt in Split Seed Pod

by Tiffany McDaniel

Warm candlelight cuts across a jagged piece of black basalt resting inside the brittle, split husk of a seed pod. Patches of green and grey lichen rest on the stone's rough surface, their texture sharp and detailed under the raking light. Fine dust particles float in the narrow beams, catching the golden glow. The interior of the pod shows fibrous, tan fibers and cracked edges, framing the dark rock. Deep shadows pool in the crevices of the basalt, while the lichen glows with jewel-like saturation against the matte stone. A thin rim of light highlights the jagged edge of the pod against the surrounding dark negative space.
