In this image, the edges of the leaves are brightened to a pure white, but the shades darken as the leaves slope toward the interior. The light is ultimately swallowed by the inner depths of the plant, creating black, mysterious crevices. This accentuates the texture as well. As the light gently cascades down the lengths of the leaves, it illuminates the smooth surfaces of each individual leaf. These leaves compose rings within rings of this ancient plant of healing, slowly drawing your attention to the obscurity of the innermost ring. Your eyes dance around the circles, allowing your vision to play with the textures and tones as you weave down the plant’s organic walls to the center of the image.
