The plant that is conscious in me








On the links between life forms, common origins and interaction across species and times. Done in a collaboration with plants and animals of my neighborhood. The complete title of the work is: "The plant that is conscious in me. A continuous thread from the first forms of life, and the learnings of all the species that precede us and are present in every part of ourselves. Personal-collective diasporic learnings that manifest in dreams, visions, and in our collective political doings, contributing to maintain a sense of connectedness and of belonging amidst the unrootedness of non-citizenship and migration. Learning from the neighbor bodies of water, plants, lichen, soils that make us, and tuning to a consciousness beyond the structures of accumulation and exploitation, 2019-2022" Aquarelle and acrylic on paper. 21 x 14,5 cm
