This section gathers essays that articulate the thinking behind the practice, addressing perception, material, and the ways plants are seen and represented. These texts shape the studio’s conceptual ground rather than comment on individual works. New essays are published every four weeks.
Plants and the ethics of attention
By focusing on plants long treated as resource or background within Brazil’s landscapes, the work redirects attention from extraction to recognition. The encounter begins with looking and asks nothing in return.
Attention and the making of meaning
Contemporary images are often expected to clarify themselves at once. Meaning is treated as information to be retrieved. Yet meaning does not sit behind the work as hidden content. It forms through time and attention. When perception slows, significance emerges gradually through the act of remaining.
