Mayfly Breaking the Water Surface, Experimental Film Still

A mayfly bursts up through the surface of the water, the shot frozen at the instant it breaks through: the surface rendered as a physical boundary, the contrast between light and dark taken to an extreme. Experimental film still, 16mm film grain, handmade texture overlays, emulsion scratches, mixed media collage style, soft analog tones, an imperfect texture full of natural life, with the aesthetic of Stan Brakhage and the charcoal quality of William Kentridge. --ar 16:9 --style raw --v 8
