In this subtle, ethereal image, you see a leaf that has blossomed and barely exists beyond a ghostly outline - a reminder of what was once full and vibrant. Around the leaf, darkness turns in soft bokeh patches, like votive lights in a silent space, while thin ice crystals accentuate the leaf along its edges.
The light - sparse and precarious - glides along the edges of the leaf, drawing a fragile trail in the ice, detailing veins and cracks that would otherwise remain invisible. The contrast between the melancholy, empty silhouette and the subtle glistening of the ice creates an atmosphere of transience and stillness.
The whole invites attentive observation: what remains when life fades away? What traces do we bear even when form and colour have disappeared? This work evokes silence, memory and the beauty hidden in decay.
It touches on contemplative themes: transformation, waning splendour, impermanence.
The combination of sharp contour, icy texture and soft bokeh creates a mystical, dreamy ambience.
In an interior, it brings calm and invites inner reflection.
