Midnight Bloom

18" x 18" | Cyanotype with Ink and Gold Leaf on Cradled Panel

Midnight Bloom captures the quiet mystery of a luminous emergence — a moment suspended in darkness, where light and texture bloom from shadow. Swirls of deep indigo and teal drift across the surface like shifting tides, while bursts of hand-applied gold leaf gleam like stars or petals unfolding under moonlight.

Created through an experimental cyanotype process with fluid ink, salt, and water, the composition was shaped by light and chance — developing slowly and unpredictably in response to the sun. The resulting textures feel both cosmic and botanical, evoking galaxies, deep-sea blooms, or the hush of something just beginning to form.

Rich, moody, and full of subtle movement, Midnight Bloom brings a contemplative presence to the wall — a one-of-a-kind meditation on emergence, wonder, and the beauty of the unknown.
