Ice acts as an optical medium to disrupt and reconstruct the image of Pōhutukawa (Metrosideros excelsa), one of New Zealand’s most iconic native flowering trees. 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.
