otherness-Weedy Language

Donna Ji

Exploring the dark aspects of weeds and their impact on equality and biodiversity. Weeds, often seen as aliens, disrupt ecosystems by overpowering native species, challenging the balance of life. This project reflects on how uncontrolled growth leads to exclusion and marginalisation, as the dominance of weeds mirrors societal imbalances-a metaphor for immigration. By breaking the grid and exploring the tension between nature’s adaptability and its destructive tendencies. Highlighting how weeds are often misunderstood or feared and create cracks in the natural world, revealing the complexities of survival and coexistence.
