SB2505003: Seeds (Red Bead Tree & Vaijayanti)
Seeds: Cucumber, Amaranthus, Purslane

Seeds are life. Not just for their ability to grow into a plant, but also for many other reasons. Seeds are food, seeds are medicines, seeds are toys, seeds are precious stones, seeds are holy objects, totems, and much much more…

But more importantly, before anything else, Seeds are also beings like us. They are the culmination of efforts of nature over millennia and that of our collective human ancestry. Therefore, we need to respect them as “beings” and treat them so, with gratitude, humility & consent, instead of looking at them as commodities or resources to use as we wish.

These bands embedded with seeds are a reminder that to use these seeds, in any of its forms, or the knowledge associated with it, the rights of nature, indigenous peoples, peasants and local communities have to be respected.

Description

WE Beyond Us…

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.
