Pollen on White Lily Under Candlelight Makola Market in on lichen-covered bark in Makola Market, Accra

Pollen on White Lily Under Candlelight Makola Market

by Josiah Shaw

Golden pollen grains cling densely to the slender white stamens of a lily, their fuzzy tips glowing against deep shadows. The flower rests directly on rough, mossy bark speckled with green and grey lichen, creating a textural contrast between organic softness and rugged stone. Warm, flickering candlelight spills across the petals, casting soft orange halos that fade into the cool darkness of the indoor market space. The background dissolves into indistinct shapes of wooden stalls and hanging fabrics, hinting at the bustling Makola Market in Accra. Dust motes float in the light beams, suspended in the still, humid air of the monsoon season. The final focus rests on a single yellow anther heavy with granular dust.
