Close-Up of Resin Oozing from Tree Trunk Cut: Natural Adhesive

Description

The close-up captures a cut on a tree trunk. The rough, mottled bark texture resembles wrinkles of time, with pale blue-white lichens dotted on the gray-brown base, fully embodying the vicissitudes of nature. At the round cut, amber-yellow resin oozes out with a sticky sheen, while dark brown wood texture remains at the edge—like the tree’s “vital sap” flowing from a wound, or a silent falling “tear”. A drop of transparent resin hangs down, like a fragment of frozen time. The blurred background features a green-yellow gradient, making the main subject more prominent and creating a tranquil, poetic atmosphere. It not only showcases the wood structure and the texture of natural adhesive, but also conveys the tree’s life resilience in self-healing after being wounded: resin is both a mark of trauma and a gift of natural healing, allowing us to feel the delicacy and tenacity of life in this close-up.
