Sansevieria Limited Edition
Marjolein Witte
Sansevieria Limited Edition (Single)
DESCRIPTION
Sansevieria Limited Edition is a work that is part of a series of photos in which I question the relationship between people and nature. A still life of a Sansevieria tightly wrapped with barrier tape. A new plant has emerged. And that causes discomfort to the viewer. Or even anger. But why actually? What is the difference with the gardener who puts the secateurs in the hedge? What is the difference with a (Dutch) forest? What is the difference with a plant in a pot? They are all ways in which we, as humans, control nature. Yet we are familiar with the one, while the unknown scoures. We seem to feel the discomfort about dealing with nature only with new, unknown forms of adaptation. Do we, only then, wonder whether it is 'okay' or ethical?
