The project “Feel Free to Talk to Plants” is an exploration of the interconnectedness between humans and non-human species, with a particular focus on plants. Tina’s artistic practice is inspired by the wisdom of Balkan witches and herbalists, who used their practices to protect and nourish their connection to nature. In this way, the act of image-making is not just a creative process, but a meditative practice and a ritual that is a vital part of her artistic journey, aiming to establish a connection to plants and to visualize this introspective process.
Each of these images is a spell and a part of the ongoing story that is not the final stage of the ritual but a continual way of expressing our emotional connection to plants and nature.
