the wild plants of santorini
santorini > day 14
I went offline for three days last week, and did the same hike i did on my birthday - from fira to oia - (not the entire way) - but I stopped to collect these wild plants along the way. I wanted something beautiful and alive to look at while inside the apartment.
but the world looks very, very different when you see it through the act of finding wild plants to collect. where were they hiding before? how did I never see them?
the act of collecting to feels like - the act of noticing, of paying attention, of seeing. this is the reoccuring theme in so much of my work.
i collected wild plants during my spring in japan, and winter in berlin. and then, summer wildflowers. collecting pieces of the world outside to take home - bringing the outside in - few things are so grounding and soothing.
