This black-and-white photo shows palm tree leaves in a simple and clean composition. The image has a minimalist structure and the focus is entirely on the shapes of the leaves. Because the photo contains no colour, the contrasts stand out more strongly. The dark leaves stand out sharply against the lighter background, creating an abstract pattern. The lines of the veins and the direction in which the leaves grow give the photo a rhythmic, almost graphic character.
The shot was taken in Sri Lanka, a country with a tropical climate where palm trees are an important part of the landscape. The method of photography not only depicts the palm tree as a natural element, but also as a source of inspiration for abstract shapes and patterns. It highlights the botanical subject in a new way.
The simplicity of the image leaves room for interpretation. Some viewers will recognise mainly the botanical aspect, while others may see mainly the abstract lines that seem almost detached from reality. Combining nature, minimalism and abstraction, the photograph shows how palm trees in Sri Lanka can be more than just a part of the tropical landscape.
