North Star

"North Star" is an awe-inspiring micro-photographic work that transforms ordinary sweetener crystals into a cosmic spectacle. Using polarized light, micro-photographer Janek Lass has created a piece where erythritol crystals embody an explosion of energy.

At its center is an intense blue "star," from which vibrant blue and bright yellow-green crystal rays radiate outward. These rays evoke cosmic phenomena—a supernova explosion or a star's birth. The crystals’ sharp, arrow-like structures create a strong sense of motion that draws the viewer’s eye to the center and guides it outward.

The intensity of the colors is particularly striking—deep electric blue intertwines with bright yellow-green tones, creating an almost supernatural glow effect. The crystals’ structured yet explosive arrangement introduces tension between stillness and dynamism, reflecting both nature’s order and wild energy.
