Convex Meniscus Caustics

A clear, convex glass lens rests on a bright white surface against a deep black background. Light refracts through the curved material, projecting a sharp, starburst-like caustic pattern onto the ground below. The high-contrast composition highlights the interplay of white highlights, subtle blue refractions, and shadow, creating a minimalist and precise optical still life.

A transparent, convex lens rests on a smooth white plane, its curved form catching the light to reveal intricate internal refractions. The object sits low in the frame, with a large expanse of deep black occupying the upper half, isolating the subject in a minimalist setting.

Bright, focused beams pass through the glass, projecting a sharp, starburst-like caustic pattern onto the surface below. Subtle hues of light blue and silver emerge within the rays and along the upper rim, contrasting with the surrounding shadow. The composition feels precise and clean, emphasising the interplay between the dark backdrop and the luminous details of the glass.

The wide, 16:9 aspect ratio makes this an ideal choice for a desktop or laptop screen, where the expansive black space complements a dark theme without distracting from the central optical display.
