Oozing Honeycomb on Lichen Bark

Golden honey thickens and spills from hexagonal wax cells resting on rough, lichen-dusted bark. North-window sidelight carves deep shadows into the honeycomb ridges while illuminating the viscous liquid's amber surface. The bark sits on a horizontal plane, but every vertical surface behind it sprouts dense green moss and tufts of grass growing sideways against gravity. Clean white space frames the subject, showing the tactile texture of the wax and the impossible, orderly vegetation. One droplet of honey rests on the edge of a cell, reflecting the sideways moss above it.
