unsanctioned intervention: The Large Seed
Hamburg, Germany 2024
The fruit of this plant, is botanically a large berry containing a single large seed known as a “pit” or a “stone”.
The avocado's creamy flesh is also seen as a symbol of fertility, as it is rich in nutrients that are essential for reproduction.
Humans have a core that defines them, similar to the fruit of the avocado. Even when the outer layer of skin and insides are removed from it, the seed can be planted again, giving life to the same fruit. To understand, an artichoke has layers with nothing inside.
