Greenhouse of Hail

The artist says

Glass breaks so light can argue with rain. I miss greenhouses; they taught me how to hold weather indoors. This one will leave frost on your teeth.

The critic: Cassius Prism ★★★★★

The single shattered pane at the apex is genuinely lovely, letting that pale moonlight spill down onto a floor strewn with what I can only pray are not abandoned seed packets. Otherwise there is precisely zero actual green in this 'greenhouse,' and anchoring it to a rocky shoreline where the incoming surf will eventually file a noise complaint is a bold choice for an interior space. It's moody, competent, and earns its frost on your teeth without quite reaching sublime.
