about
It’s about creating empathy for nature, a symbolic relationship we don’t really realize. We want to give it more value, that apart from oxygen, they mean way more for you. Just like people nowadays have developed this dependable relationship with Wi-Fi, giving this function to plants, makes it so that nature is not taken for granted.
