💡 Concept

a frustrated gardener tries to separate thick green vines that have grown together in a complex knot. She pulls at one vine but it's completely wrapped around several others in multiple directions. The more she tugs, the tighter the plant stems seem to twist around each other. Bean plants, cucumber vines, and tomato supports have all grown into one massive jumbled mess. A second gardener approaches with pruning shears to help untangle the complicated plant web. vegetation that is twisted together and caught in something in a complicated way
