Ice serves as an optical medium to disrupt and reconstruct the image of Kōwhai (Sophora microphylla), a New Zealand native tree known for its bright yellow flowers and springtime bloom. 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.
