Description

A still life features a vintage garden fork positioned behind a dried flower, a branch with green leaves, and loose, dried leaves. The arrangement sits atop a sheet of aged paper, which is layered over a map. The dried flower is faded purple and brown, with a green stem. The branch has vibrant green leaves, in contrast to the other elements. The garden fork shows signs of rust. The aged paper has a rough, uneven texture. The map is printed in black and white, showing geographical outlines and details. The composition is lit evenly, highlighting the textures of each object. The arrangement creates a contrast between natural and manufactured elements.
