frost pattern
Frozen window art
A frost pattern is the intricate crystalline design that forms when water vapor freezes on cold surfaces like windows, leaves, or metal.
The delicate, feathery shapes branch outward in fractal-like formations, resembling ferns or feathers: The morning sun revealed elaborate frost patterns on the windshield.
These patterns result from the physics of ice crystal growth and have inspired decorative motifs in glasswork and textiles.
