The Human Seed

Seeds are storage units, vessels that preserve genetic material and carry the histories of this world. Human cultures have long participated in these cycles of dispersal and selection, shaping plant evolution just as plants shape human settlement, agriculture, and migration. This work asks what these deep entanglements reveal about adaptation, resilience, and belonging at a moment when ecological systems are under strain.

In these textiles, species mingle within a shared system. Humans are one of these materials - we are ecosystems, we are micro beings. These pieces are meant to be touched, contact sparking recognition of our shared origins.

Across the project, forgotten relationships surface through material. They persist in the dormant seed, in the fiber that carries centuries of human-animal partnership, in the invasive plant whose growth maps a landscape's disruption. Slow and repetitive, spinning, weaving, and beading become a way of moving through time, tracing how seeds, fibers, and bodies participate together in shared processes of inheritance and transformation.
