Flesh Disintegrate and Petals Bloom From My Throat, is an incantation that possesses language and plants to form a ritual. Earth pigment scribes loud, thick handwritten words over a chlorophyll-soaked cloth. Destroyed and then transformed, a woven structure scrambles the verse and cuts the human voice to silence.
The relationship between ritual speech and magical power is ancient technology between humans and plants. Like the Book of the Dead, these words are a tunnel to the afterlife, a metamorphosis that imagines aligning with the vegetal world.
