This painting draws inspiration from the microscope, bridging the micro and macro. It reflects what geologists observe through a polarising microscope, where polarized light reveals the minerals in vivid colours. These intricate visuals open a window into a hidden world rarely seen. Yet, beneath the beauty, the contrasting forms and temperatures speak to a broader narrative—the ongoing tension between heat and ice.
