Subconscious influences

During the lockdown, I did my doodles and the one pattern I have been using in my work has been bothering me as subconsciously as I had seen something similar somewhere. I finally figured it out there are two places I have seen this type of pattern before. 

The one is this beautiful tree that I have walked past thousands of times in my area (Fig. 1). It is actually two trees (I am not sure what trees they are) the original tree has very rough bark and the symbiotic tree is smoother in texture. The smoother tree has grown around one side of the main trunk of the original tree.

The second place I have seen an abstract pattern like my doodle is back in biology. The centre of most bones especially long bones has a spongy tissue, and this is where marrow is found. All bones are porous but the spongy tissue has larger gaps and if a person has osteoporosis the gaps are even larger.
