Michigan Ice Storm 2025 – Verdure Veil of Clarity

A veil of ice turns humble needles into sculpture, each strand lacquered with light and held in perfect poise. The form is both botanical and architectural: fluent lines, crystal edges, and prismatic seams sketching a living calligraphy. What begins as weather concludes as design, a lucid skin that refracts emerald into silver and suspends a droplet at the lip of time. The background softens to breath, letting the subject speak in whispers—resilience made luminous, tenderness tempered by cold. This work invites slow looking. Trace the arcs and you’ll feel the hush of winter made tangible, the quiet mathematics of growth preserved by a fleeting freeze. It is an ode to balance: vigor sheltered by glass, motion stilled without surrender, beauty discovered precisely because the world has momentarily paused.
