Oxidized Copper Salt Rainwater Study Zurich

Pale walls reflect broad afternoon light into a glass-roofed arcade in Zurich, illuminating a shallow study of materials on the floor. A patina of verdigris oxidized copper rests beside scattered coarse salt crystals and a spreading pool of rainwater. Condensation beads along the nearby glass panels, marking the late autumn chill. The overhead perspective reveals the rough texture of the metal against the smooth, reflective surface of the water. Fine salt grains catch the light at the water's edge, creating a sharp boundary where the dry earth meets the liquid. The green corrosion of the copper contrasts with the stark white of the salt and the clear, dark reflection in the puddle.
