“Becoming One and Many Through Your Soul” is a participatory installation that shows and enables people to meditate through an interconnected environment that reflects on the relation between humans and other species' conditions in this unbalanced ecological period.

 The collective practice invites people to step into the environment in order to activate an empathetic imagination through meditation. After the meditative experience, participants are welcome to take the seed bags around the soil structure to plant them around neighborhood, in the park, streets, schools, and maybe some at home. Through this action, audiences are contributing to the possible regeneration of our environment by remembering where the seeds have been planted to visit and look after them as an ongoing practice of care.
