A tree trunk spanning the height of this horizontal photograph is scarred across its middle with a long, dark gash near its roots. The image is monochromatic like a black and white photograph but the white has a warm, almost golden ivory glow. The details of the trunk are crisp, in focus, while the wire fence, field, and trees in the background are blurry. The tree’s branches dip into the scene from the top edge of the photograph, and they are also out of focus. The top corners of the view are rounded, and filled in with black.
