Urpflanze

"If I had seen the Urpflanze with my own eyes, I could have created countless plants, real and imaginary" – J.W. Goethe

An experiment between art, science, and philosophy, searching for the original form that unites all plants.

Plants without color, stripped of their individual identity, placed inside a transparent sphere floating on water, reflecting the world around it.
A balance between visible and invisible, matter and code, nature and its deepest essence.

Next to the image, the genome of photosynthesis: the secret language of plant life, the shared origin, the silent breath of the earth.

Urpflanze is a window into the hidden infinity of the natural world.
