This image shows two close-up plant stems. One has a cluster of small leaves and a bud. The other shows a thick stem with a hole cut into it. The lines are sharp and the textures look rough. These photos were taken to study plants in detail. The artist focused on how they grow and their strange shapes. Next, look up Blossfeldt, Karl to see more of his plant photos.
