Indomitable ReGeneration 01
“Plants were the first conquerors of our planet, transitioning from water to land. She notes that they are Earth’s first children, our eldest siblings. They were indeed the first beings. In Balinese philosophy, plants are associated with “breath” or “wind”, rather than primarily with “soil”, as is commonly done. It is then accurate to say that the wind, in a conquering manner, disperses seeds and deploys life.
Dian Dewi Reich perceives a certain ferocity in this undeniable fact, which is reflected in the somewhat intimidating aspect of her plant sculptures upon closer inspection. She adds that they are the finest children, maintaining an unsevered umbilical cord with Mother Earth. Of all beings, they are the most connected to the earth and are the closest to understanding it in essence.” ~ Eric Buvelot
