Pine, Specimen
May 6, 2026What it is about
A 17th-century botanical etching pulled from the Met's open archive, then crossed with a clinical wordmark set on top. The pine holds its quiet, scientific posture. The type argues with it — three hundred years of distance compressed onto one page.
How it was made
Started with "The Brown Havannah Pine" from Met Open Access, then transformed with Gemini image edit into the final static image. The source link(s) and final output are listed below.
