Cephalonia Botanica, Argostoli, Greece
A dozen root sculptures were installed on pathways at the Cephalonia Botanica Gardens as an environmental art show -Remembering our roots- from August to September.
By growing wheatgrass in molds of faces, the roots metamorphose into representations
of human forms. During the exhibition, they dried and weathered reminding us of our
ephemerality.
In this way, nature imitates us in celebrating our community at this time of
great ecological concern.
Working directly with nature has made me realize that we have created a false separation between nature and ourselves; after all, roots occur in our bodies, families, and communities and spiritually with our planet and the cosmos.
