Although we live on Earth, we often take natural phenomena for granted, rarely observing and sensing them with intention. Here, I bring one of these natural phenomena into this space, occurring somewhere on our planet. Supercooling: a state where liquid remains in liquid form even below its freezing point. This phenomenon also includes water droplets that form clouds, rime ice, and freezing rain. Through this work, I hope to offer a moment to experience the shift from a supercooled state to a solid form, perhaps inspiring a new awakening to nature’s wonders. It would be wonderful if this “awakening” could spark inspiration for discoveries among those working in various fields.
