Prismatic

At the heart of Yellowstone, the Grand Prismatic Spring transforms heat and mineral into color and light. Prismatic captures that moment when vapor drifts across the spectrum — where deep blues meet the burnished edge of orange and gold. It’s a landscape that feels both planetary and intimate, alive with quiet motion and elemental contrast. The photograph invites reflection on balance — between beauty and volatility, permanence and flux. Like the spring itself, it’s a reminder that even the most delicate hues often emerge from the most intense conditions.

On lustre paper, soft transitions of color create a painterly calm. On metal, the tones intensify — the surface taking on an iridescent glow, echoing the geothermal brilliance that inspired the image.
