The photo of a miniature flower featured in the work 'Iosis' by Kasper Bergholt is a part of the Flora Excursoria Hafniensis series.
Iosis, in classical medieval alchemy, signifies the final and most crucial stage in the Magnum Opus, or the Great Work. It represents the culmination of the alchemical process, transforming the base material into the Philosopher's Stone.
This stage, also known as the reddening, follows the phases of nigredo(blackening), albedo(whitening), and citrinitas(yellowing). Iosis symbolizes the achievement of ultimate perfection and enlightenment, embodying the alchemical quest for spiritual and material transmutation.
'Flora Excursoria Hafniensis' is the title of a book published by the Danish botanist Salomon Thomas Nicolai Drejer, who also contributed to the better-known work 'Flora Danica', which is widely recognized in Scandinavia through the Royal Copenhagen porcelain series.
