Abstract

This essay seeks to give poetical expression to the vitality of plants in order to find a new educational approach. It is a research based on the life of plants—
and interactions with other entities—suggesting art practice and creation as tool and method. This visual essay narrates all the scene of a metaphorical
Selva, below and above the ground, and proposes a workshop to imagine landscapes and interactions, collectively.
