The series Why Weeds? (2006-2015) contains plants considered weeds underneath transparent fabrics. The roots of the plants were substituted by phrases about weeds, such as: “They are born where they are not wanted”, “They are invaders and must be exterminated”. Extracted from agronomy books, the phrases were embroidered with the artist’s hair. The title of the series raises questions about the terminology used to describe something or someone that is considered undesirable. Proposing a reflection about how to live together and who would be the weeds.
