One of my favourite plants, this begonia contains the universe in its patterned leaves and I always imagine that each cell contains a solar system - all I have to do is fall into the space in between.

Infused by a river. I need to consider the political, social, economic, ethical or moral connections. I'll also explore which materials are best suited for that purpose.
