glove(s) concept
💡 Concept

a gardener wearing thick winter gloves carefully grips pruning shears to cut frozen branches. The gloves cover their hands completely, protecting them from the sharp thorns and bitter cold. Without the gloves, the thorns would scratch their skin and the freezing metal tools would hurt their fingers. The protective covering allows them to work safely and comfortably in harsh conditions. A helper nearby also wears similar protective hand coverings while collecting the cut branches. a covering for the hand worn for protection or warmth
