Humuscence

This is not a dictionary-defined word, but a neologism derived from “humus” (the rich organic component of soil formed by the decomposition of leaves and other plant material) and the suffix “-scence” (as in “adolescence” or “efflorescence,” indicating a process or state of becoming).

So humuscence could poetically suggest:

The quiet, slow becoming of matter into nourishment; the threshold-state between decay and renewal.

Philosophically, a horizon defines the limit of intelligibility—what we can think, imagine, or know. In phenomenology, it’s the ever-shifting boundary of consciousness. This image engages that idea visually. The forms are recognizable but not legible. The eye understands them as botanical, but the mind cannot place them. They exist on the horizon of meaning—half-remembered, half-invented, hovering in ambiguity.
