White Iris

White Iris presents a striking study in purity and form. The delicate petals—silken and translucent—emerge from a rich black background, allowing the viewer to appreciate the iris in serene isolation. Subtle veins ripple through the white, while a soft wash of yellow glows from its core, drawing the eye inward. The composition highlights both botanical precision and poetic stillness, inviting quiet contemplation. A celebration of minimalism and natural grace, this portrait transforms a simple bloom into a moment of still-life reverence.
