René (after Magritte)

René
Science tells us that plants communicate. They are interdependent and exchange information. They talk to each other and animals. Plants breathe, distinguish colours, they count, they rest. Plant-life freely provides legion essentials for humankind including the air we require to live. Magritte used the bowler hat to express anonymity while I employ the safari suit. Combined, they complete an egalitarian's uniform. René is an expression of balance, of kinship, reciprocity and an invitation to value interspecies equality. The leaf-mask creates an identity that renders René's nature simultaneously hidden yet revealed. In Plants We Trust |
