Juxtaposition of a pair of photographs, similarly composed, of vegetable life emerging from the bottom of the frame against a stark black setting. Similar at first glance, the two seem to diverge only in the form of vegetation. On the left, palm leaves jut out in haphazard directions, while on the right, wedge-shaped leaves convey that same disordered energy.
