Filaments Of Light

About this piece

Narrow pink-and-white petals curl across the frame, while long red stamens carry slender yellow anthers into the surrounding green. Bright highlights reveal the petals’ fine texture, and shallow focus separates their sweeping arcs from a saturated, softly blurred background. The close crop gives this intimate botanical study a sculptural sense of movement.

The story

Late November finds a vivid register here: pink, white, and the yellow of pollen. Light follows a curled petal toward its tip, where the surface slips out of focus. Red filaments reach across the green, each holding its small burden at a distance from the flower. Within this close view, the month becomes a quiet interval of color and unfolding.
