Plant Massage, 2020 (On going)
Plant massage is my lifelong project that is also part of my meditation process that I started in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. I love having plants at home and communicating with various trees outside. I think about plants as active circulating organisms which need water and the influence of natural elements; however, most plants at home are not able to receive natural movements such as wind, water, and insect’s behavior.
I started testing how to give alternative energy to help their water circulation by giving a massage. There are some different massaging methods between humans and plants that I have been developing from meditation processes. Above all, it is crucial to understand each plant’s anatomy to decide what type of touching and approaches are appropriate for them in terms of their water circulation and immune system.
How to start to see others’ existence differently, and what approach we might need? The practice of Geological Meditation and Plant Massage is an opening gesture for treating nature in a respectful way and a tool for developing an Eco-responsible strategy among others.
