The Seed

For Nature, what counts is transmission and continuity. It embellishes the fruit to make it desirable, so that humans and animals feed on its flesh and allow the seed to spread. In this way, the seed conquers territories, reshapes landscapes and transforms biodiversity, carrying information within itself.
If the flesh of a fruit symbolically represents the Body, then we can think of the seed as its Spirit. The first is destined to disappear and the second to last.
Like the fruit, Man must become the bearer of the Seed, the receptacle of vital information destined to be passed on through future generations.

‘In this small space, past, present and future are concentrated. A metaphor for what we pass on that goes beyond ourselves.’
