SB2485002: Swim, Hover, Fly (Lily)
Seeds: Soybean, Amaranthus, Purslane

On an evolutionary scale, we are babies compared to dragonflies. Some of the first insects with wings to evolve, they date back 175 million years, compared to our 20 million! They spend most of their life in & around water, swimming as nymphs.

Dragonflies then undergo incomplete metamorphosis to crawl out of the water and form wings! Their flight is magical; moving straight up or down, hovering with precision, even mating mid-air!

They are also our allies. Through their lives, they feed on what humans consider a pest—the mosquito. But their population is declining rapidly from habitat loss—a direct result of human activities.

This band, undergoing its own metamorphosis, moves from cotton threads to loofah sponge wings, urging us to form kinship with the nymph-turned-dragons.

Description

Only WE, humans, are conscious. WE are intelligent. WE have feelings & families & histories…

All of these beliefs have been challenged & it means that “WE” need to expand beyond the human realm & imagine a new way of co-existing in this world. To accept this shift in our consciousness—to always be becoming—is our essence.

Like a cocooned caterpillar, the blossoming bud, water flowing downriver, or the continuous rounding of a stone—there is a tender beauty in evolving.

These bands are also ever-evolving—a bond from the transforming ecosystem in our farm to the quiet changes in all of us. “Pay attention to the transformation within & without,” they seem to say. It will surprise & nourish us on this journey.

Plantable Seed Bands handcrafted from naturally dyed & handspun yarn of organically grown, indigenous cotton. Plantable Seed Papers on which bands are wrapped are handmade, up-cycled & biodegradable.
