This page gathers research-based essays published by the studio. The texts examine perception, materiality, and botanical subjects from a non-instructional and non-extractive perspective. They form part of the conceptual practice rather than commentary on specific works. New essays are published every four weeks.
The Ethics of Non-Extractive Looking
The act of looking is never neutral. What happens when plants are not looked at as resources, symbols, or scenery, but simply as themselves? This text proposes a mode of attention that neither consumes nor instructs. Perception becomes an ethical encounter that acknowledges presence without demanding use, meaning, or resolution.
