Parasitic growth.
Infestation of the soil.
Contamination of the native strands.
Wounded, haunted by history.

A landscape with almost human qualities.
The seed embodying potential.
Finding nourishment even in death and decay.
A revitalisation of ancient wisdoms.

The land and its people becoming one.
A timeless reality.
Entanglement and fixation.
Sacrifice and suffering.

Fertile ground for secondary successions.
