Surreal Staircase Under Frozen Lightning Strike in at a muddy site access road in Minas Gerais

Surreal Staircase Under Frozen Lightning Strike

by Bette Ellison

Damp earth and sawdust drift through the air beneath a temporary wooden staircase ascending through an open building shell. The sky above is split by a single bolt of lightning frozen in mid-strike, its jagged branches illuminating the gray clouds with a harsh, electric glow that clashes with the soft, diffused light of the recent rain. Mud coats the access road in Minas Gerais, reflecting the unnatural blue-white flash. Concrete dust hangs suspended near the rough timber steps, catching the strange illumination. The worm's-eye view emphasizes the precarious angle of the stairs against the impossible sky. A droplet of water clinging to the lowest step mirrors the fractured lightning bolt above.
