EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alfred Pasieka showcases the intricate beauty of coffee beans under a polarised light micrograph. The image presents a fascinating comparison between an unroasted and roasted coffee bean, revealing their distinct characteristics. On the left side, we observe the cross-section of an unroasted bean, depicted in a pristine white hue. Its delicate structure is reminiscent of nature's craftsmanship, with intricate patterns and textures that hint at its potential for transformation. In contrast, on the right side of the photograph, we are presented with a roasted coffee bean. The vibrant red tones evoke warmth and intensity, reflecting the metamorphosis that occurs during roasting. This visual representation allows us to appreciate how this humble seed undergoes such dramatic changes to become one of our most beloved beverages. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image serves as a reminder of the significance coffee holds in our lives. It symbolizes more than just a drink; it represents energy and stimulation—a daily ritual for millions around the world. Coffee has transcended cultures and borders to become an integral part of our social fabric. Alfred Pasieka's skillful capture invites us to explore not only the scientific aspects but also appreciate the artistry found within everyday objects like coffee beans. It reminds us that even in microscopic detail lies remarkable beauty waiting to be discovered and admired by those willing to take a closer look.
