The line of a dead branch: one is enough

A single dried branch in a vase. It is a single woody branch with clear bends and curves, more than twice the length of the vase, with its line leaning to one side. All leaves have fallen off or only a few curled ones remain. The vase is a plain, narrow-necked ceramic vase, placed off-center on a countertop. The branch casts a thin, clear shadow on the plain wall behind, which is the only line in the image. Avoid: arranging a whole bouquet of dried flowers, using colorful preserved flowers, arranging the branch symmetrically and upright, placing multiple vases in the same space.

一枝插在瓶裡的乾燥枝條。它是一根有明確曲折的木質枝條,長度超過瓶身兩倍,線條向一側傾斜;葉子已經全部掉落或只剩幾片捲曲的。瓶是素坯的細口陶瓶,放在檯面偏一側。枝條在後方的素牆上投下一條細瘦清楚的影子,是畫面裡唯一的線條。避免:插成一整束的乾燥花、使用有色彩的永生花、把枝條插得對稱直立、在同一空間擺放多個花器。
