This work draws from memory and collaboration.

Developed with Living Legacy Forest at Mornington Green, it reflects a regenerative system where human remains are returned to the soil to support new life.

A cycle where nothing is lost. Only carried forward.

I understood agriculture as presence before I understood it as a system.

As a child, we moved through sunflower fields that felt endless. My mum, my grandma, my sisters — surrounded by height, colour, and warmth.

Mum made us sunflower dresses and hats. We ran through rows taller than us.

My parents were married in front of those fields. They held our family.

What I didn’t understand then was what was happening beneath it.

Roots breaking ground. Holding structure. Storing what the next cycle would need.

Sunflowers were one of my first lessons in patience. Growth happens in its own time. There is a rhythm to it that you learn by being around it.

The bloom is only possible because of what is held underneath.

Not everything is visible as it forms.

The most important work happens beneath the surface.
