Pt I Seed Stories
A year back I got the opportunity to be one of the artists in residency as part of Goethe Institut Pune ' s Seed Stories, created and created by Abhijit Patil very lovingly and conscientiously.
To say that it's been a ride is to put it mildly and I don't quite have the vocabulary to sum up what I learnt (and what I'm still learning in retrospect). But I shall keep trying.
| Anatomy of a seed |
the first seed | Origin of The Universe .
The anatomy of a seed is written in infinity — the echoes of stars, the blueprint of life, the unfolding of time itself.
time’s memory | Origin of Life .
The anatomy of a seed is one of memory and resilience—an archive of ecosystems, a vessel of survival, carrying the past forward into the unknown.
us | Human Origin .
The anatomy of a seed is one of creation—of nourishment and renewal, of thought and love, of all that sustains and regenerates. Akin to the brain, it births thought and consciousness. Much like the womb, it cradles the beginning of life itself .
world as we know it | Origin of Preservation & Extraction .
The anatomy of a seed is the yearning of freedom.
