Cristallo adombrato

What you see here is a quartz crystal embedded in a plain violet wall. Placed there for its beauty, its presence silently questions the viewer about the transience of life and nature. Human existence ends; the quartz endures through the centuries. The yellow and violet tones are complementary and vibrant. Up close, the small brushstrokes shaping each tiny facet of the crystal reveal its delicate, meticulous construction.
