Ice acts as an optical medium to disrupt and reconstruct the image of Kōtukutuku (Fuchsia excorticata), New Zealand’s native fuchsia and one of the few tree fuchsia species in the world. Light passing through frozen water fractures, diffuses, and disperses into micro-points, breaking continuous form into discrete fragments. The image sits between representation and dissolution – where the subject remains visible, yet unstable. Rather than documenting the flower, the work examines how matter transforms light and how perception is constructed from fragments.
