Resurrection Plants

Inspired by Selaginella lepidophylla, a desert plant known for its ability to survive near-total desiccation, Resurrection Plants explores resilience as a biological and emotional truth. Vascular and rooted, the plant appears lifeless in drought yet revives fully when rehydrated. This cycle mirrors the human capacity to endure trauma, withdraw for survival, and return—softened, altered, but still capable of growth and thriving.

Similar to how humans survive traumatic experiences.
