The Resurgence installation

in High Park (Toronto, Canada) invites you to reflect upon the devastation of forests and climate change, which have been happening in all parts of the world, alongside global warming. Storms, floods, hurricanes and all sorts of natural phenomena have been occurring with unprecedented intensity, causing damage to the ecosystem and to human, plant and animal life.

As Anna Tsing defines it:

“Resurgence is the force of the life of the forest, its ability to spread its seeds and roots and runners to reclaim places that have been deforested”

My spores, small objects made of gauze, welcome the idea of ​​sowing within them. Inside, there is a sentence written on a strip of paper that triggers their bloom.

They constitute a language

for the dispersion of ideas, just as with plants where the spores are carried by the wind or by animals.

You can open the spores and receive this message that I made thinking about activating this awakening inside your soul. This way, you will be part of this germination and will continue pollinating.

Together we can

preserve the natural world. 
Mother Nature is urgently calling for it!!!

We can be the acting agents, creating a network of people's awareness, in order to stop the destruction of forests, preserving the remaining areas, helping with reforestation and contributing to actions that protect and balance the environment.
