This project responds to the theme of Grow Op this year by considering the term energy in relational terms, as experienced by diverse organisms and social systems.  This biodegradable and consumable artwork simultaneously considers the energy required in the absorption of light for the production of chlorophyll, the nutrient energy of plants to humans and in their consumption, the social forces ascribing value to foods and fads, gentrification of communities, and the energy used in artificially controlling and maintaining plants.
