You’ve captured the flower of the lamb’s ears so uniquely, with plenty of negative space to really keep out focus on its upright glory. I love what you shared about words freezing. I’m not at all familiar with Antisthenes but am quite intrigued.

The B&W can evoke cold, like winter. The words give us context. Beautifully done.
