Silhouetted Tillandsia Ball at Dawn Near Cucuta

by Myles Adams

Misty gray light floods the morning air near Cúcuta, turning a spherical air plant into a stark silhouette against the brightening sky. The Tillandsia ball hangs suspended from a thin wire, its hundreds of slender leaves fanning outward in chaotic directions. A sudden gust ruffles the foliage, causing the spiky fibers to skitter and tremble visibly in the wind. The dry season has stripped surrounding vegetation of moisture, leaving the plant as the sole focus in a landscape of muted browns and pale greens. The backlighting dissolves surface texture, rendering the plant as a dark, intricate shape with no visible color. Fine details of the wire fade into the glowing haze behind the cluster of leaves.
