The tree, scientifically known as Ficus Religiosa, has a red seed, favored food of many singing birds. It produces thousands of red seeds falling to the ground and when dried easily swept by the wind. The seeds grows fast with less soil and has the ability to do so even in concrete pavements or grounds. As the artist believes that everything that falls to the ground is not garbage, he gathered all the seeds and contained this in a box (without any soil) - and provided water and sunlight. The photo essay shows how this project has progressed in a year and how the artist has come up with a conclusive question:
‘Is it possible that a live-form eats itself and produces another one of its kind by doing so?’
