“ROTTEN is a depiction of multiple species of carnivorous plants and insects. There is a very intentional selection of carnivorous plant species that exude a foul rotten–flesh smell to attract pray.

It translates my fascination with the cycle of life that has been amplified through grief and hardships I faced in my formative years. Carnivorous plants can appear to have human-like characteristics. Creating a visceral reaction—enticing the viewer to wonder ‘is that a human organ? Or a plant form?”
