Based on a photograph of the silhouettes of dead Buddleia against the eveing sky. Once I'd cropped it I noticed this shape, which I repeated. It reminds me a little of Chinese or Japanese calligraphy, written in black ink on parchment paper, slightly blotchy. The diagonals suggest movement ... Probably other people can see other shapes and suggestions too.

 

I converted the original photograph to black and white. Inverted it and used a number of blending modes with the textures to suggest an absorbant parchment surface with water marks, or, maybe impressions of mist and water, and ink marks ...
