contents Two sets $X, Y$ of vertices in a graph $G$ are "anticomplete" if $X\cap Y=\varnothing$ and there is no edge in $G$ with an end in $X$ and an end in $Y$. We prove that every graph $G$ of sufficiently large treewidth contains two anticomplete sets of vertices each inducing a subgraph of large treewidth unless $G$ contains, as an induced subgraph, a highly structured graph of large treewidth that is an obvious counterexample to this statement. These are: complete graphs, complete bipartite graphs and "interrupted $s$-constellations." The latter is a slightly adjusted version of a well-known construction by Bonamy et al.
