Fern Unrolling Through Four Staged Sun Shadows

One tightly curled green fern sits low at the centre of a plain chalk plaster field while four slightly offset stylized shadows arc across it in growth order, from the tightest curl nearest the plant to the most open frond farthest away.

Prompt

Wide 16:9 frame, full-bleed opaque studio botanical photomontage on a matte plaster background, finish continuous to every edge. One tightly curled green fern sits low at the centre. Four slightly offset stylized shadows arc across the plain chalk field in growth order, from the tightest curl nearest the plant to the most open frond farthest away, as the sun represented at four successive positions. Deep green crisp pinnae, soft-black graded shadows, flat even plaster finish, clear upper field. Presented as conceptual artwork. No text, no timeline marks, no people.
