Cradle of Ember – A Bloom Between Fire and Stillness
There are moments where stillness doesn't feel like rest — it feels like pressure.
Held. Contained. Tense with the promise of change.
Cradle of Ember is that moment.
A single flower, quiet and untouched, resting in the weight of red.
It isn’t blooming. It isn’t withering.
It simply waits — like an emotion not yet spoken.
This piece began as a real photograph. A captured shape, lit gently.
But through digital transformation, it became something else:
a bloom that carries heat without ever burning.
Soft. Bold. Poised between restraint and eruption.
To me, Cradle of Ember represents the beauty in holding back.
In not rushing to open, not forcing the bloom — but living fully in the tension before.
It’s fire, folded.
Desire, not declared.
Light, about to move.
Like many of my works, it speaks more in silence than in form.
If this feeling lives in you too —
if you’re drawn to the moment before things become what they are —
then this piece may already belong to you.
