The work was created from September to March. I was drawn not to the shape of the cob, but to the flowing “locks” of its husk and the play of light and color. The image emerged from a chance encounter with the subject, striking me with its almost unreal beauty. It evoked associations with Galadriel from The Lord of the Rings — delicate, luminous, and seemingly elven. I began with a graphic sketch, then spent a long time selecting pigments and making color tests to capture subtle shifts of light and tone. The focus shifts from the kernels to the husk, revealing the character of the form through movement and rhythm. This is an attempt to capture a moment when a familiar object suddenly appears as something unique and animated.
