My parents were avid gardeners who encouraged an interest in plants and plant books.Plants are historically considered subordinate to animals and humans as they can't move. Research has shown that plants communicate through chemical signals and plants have agency. Plants' medicinal properties and their use in rituals inform that plants are not only functional.Plants are inspirited with life-giving properties in a space where the mundane and sacred intermixes. This work is about good and evil and this pondering was influenced by a traumatic experience. The combination of poisonous plants like poison apple, holy thistle and ceylon's rose can also be used for medicinal purposes, thus poisons can also cure. I reflected on Foucault's argument that humans readily accept the order of things, but when it is disturbed our lives hang on a thread. Such disruption causes trauma, but allows for new visions and meanings, allowing us to write new "chapters" in our lives.
