Layers of Earth

Material Used: soil, found non-biodegradable material, iron rod

The layer of Earth and Seed installation is created with soil, plastic and non-biodegradable materials
showing how the excessive use of plastic, glass, binding material and non-biodegradable materials put
an immense burden on soil and layers of Earth. It is only the resilience of the soil that seeds are
able to become plants and grow. The power of seed and nature’s ability to nurture it is brought out
beautifully in an apocryphal story wherein a seed found in a terracotta pot from the Indus valley
civilization (3300BCE ) when planted germinated showing the strength of the seed to survive through
time.
