This image shows three close-up photos of tree branches. The bark is rough and textured, with deep grooves and bumpy ridges. One branch splits into two thick, twisted offshoots in the middle. These aren’t painted—they’re photos turned into prints. The artist focused on how nature looks up close, almost like sculptures. Look up Blossfeldt, Karl next—he made art from plants this way.
