Seeds, c6 envelope, seams (horse shoe nails) soil

Ongoing research project exploring seeds as living material, a shared commons, and a regulated commodity. Through fieldwork, I investigate different soils, the act of collecting and categorizing seeds, and the subtle restrictions shaping how seeds can be used or shared. The work critically examines the privatisation of something inherently natural and communal, using material gestures that reveal systems of control while introducing seed-sharing as an act of care, resistance and collective agency.
