4,000 Yards (Apple Trees, after Gerhard Richter)
1998

A monochromatic artwork depicting a stylized landscape with trees whose branches and leaves are composed of intricate, swirling patterns, resembling thick, curly hair or wool. The scene conveys a sense of movement and texture, with the ground and background rendered in horizontal lines that suggest a windswept field or water surface.
