Fresh Artichoke on Wooden Cutting Board

A fresh green artichoke rests upright in the center of a 50cm x 50cm wooden cutting board with a natural grain texture. A white woman’s hands appear—her right hand wearing a modest silver ring. With a heavy chef’s knife, she firmly slices off the top third of the artichoke. The camera captures the resistance as the knife crunches through the fibrous leaves. The freshly cut surface exposes pale inner layers and the start of the choke. Natural top-down lighting highlights the vegetable's detailed textures.
