Metal Sprout. Post-War regeneration, 2025
Real plants, sculptures
1. I this part of work I show the stages of regeneration and mutation of flowers, but already under the influence of toxic reality. The flower grows from the soil saturated with metals and chemicals. The flower itself has become part of this new ecosystem and has absorbed all consequences of the war. The plants grow, but with a different internal code and external mutations. I created small flower sculptures imitating metal. I show the growth of the flower in dynamics. The metal flower shows that its entire inner system has become saturated with metals, and it has become part of this new toxic ecosystem. The consequences of soil pollution after war affected its internal structure and appearance. In my work, I show these changes in dynamics from the first sprout to a new mutated flower. Plants will always find their way to life, but the way can change them beyond recognition. Metal flower as an image of Violent regeneration. 2. In experiment with a real plants I planted one portion of the seeds in clean soil, and another portion in soil mixed with dust and particles of various metals, along with several chemical additives. In a way, I simulated a polluted environment to observe how foreign contaminants affect living organisms. I was interested in observing and recording the dynamics of their growth. For this experiment, I also used phytolamps to provide artificial light. The experiment yielded the following results: microgreen seeds planted in clean soil sprouted within about 1–2 weeks, grew fairly quickly, and began developing leaves. In contrast, the seeds planted in metal-contaminated soil showed their first signs of life only after about a month’s delay. Only one seed attempted to sprout; the rest never produced any shoots. However, this single struggling sprout was unable to rise fully, despite being given the same watering and growth conditions as the plants in clean soil.
