This image shows three tall, skinny plants with rows of small, overlapping leaves. The middle plant is wider, with slightly fuzzier leaves. All three are drawn in sharp black lines against a light background. These aren’t painted—they’re photos turned into prints. The artist focused on how each leaf connects to the stem, almost like a diagram. Next, check out Blossfeldt, Karl to see more of his plant close-ups.
