This is a close-up of a section of a leaf of a delicious monster plant (or Swiss cheese plant, Monstera deliciosa). What I would explore for an abstract is the gentles curves of the two edges of the leaf and the curves of the circular hole in it. Also the smoothness of the leaf against a textured background.
