Seed Codex

Francesca Borgatta

The Seed Codex is a small tablet, 12x10x2. made of wood chips, plastic, and the water-damaged packets of unplanted seeds.
I imagine it as a prayer for survival spoken by the seeds themselves:

Why this? You humans gathered us and put us in packets with the intent that we should prosper. Why have you forgotten us? So much waste is coming from you people. We could have been a good garden. What is wanted is a good planting, not a mindless scatter. Too many seeds make for unfair competition. We need to stand in rows and and be separate for a while, until we feel the green magic.

      Tell us that next time you will try again, you will take your time with us. We hope you will remember the water. Try to understand that this is the good earth. We have the same mother. We need your respect.
