Wide shot in morning fog across the flat-cut surface of an impossible tree stump, kilometers wide, its growth rings running away in vast concentric terraces of pale amber heartwood, each ring holding a shallow line of standing rainwater and thin grass. A 30-year-old woman in a patched coat and rubber boots walks one of the rings with a scatter of nine goats, all of them small simple cel figures with almost no interior detail, a switch of hazel in her hand. The stump's severed edge falls away into white cloud at the far right; there is no ground below it, only more fog. Soft flat daylight comes from everywhere at once, no shadows, the palette faded to oatmeal, lichen green, dust rose, and washed sepia, with grain and a slight bloom over the whole frame like an old print. The rings dwarf her — one growth ring alone is wider than the whole herd's line — and empty white fog fills the top half of the image. Gentle, dislocated calm — an ordinary morning of work on the corpse of something unimaginable.
