一個人若是想要從不同的角度看事物，必須另外取得一個優越的視角。我們培育出我們想要的東西、扼殺或排除不想要的部分 —— 建構起主觀的觀點、打造特定的場域。在這個過程中，我們做出判斷：獨佔並操控野生生物，並將剩下的其他生物歸類為入侵外來種。
不被需要的雜草長久以來緊抓著土壤。自然進化的野花保留其原始形狀、尺寸和香味，從來不需要任何改變或修正。它的種子透過風或水成了最棒的旅行者，可散播至令人難以想像的距離。它的起源如同人類的起源：透過種種跡象展現力量與適應能力。野花的美在於它的韌性，玲瓏有致地讓人忍不住回頭再看一眼；這一切轉化背後的來龍去脈說明了這些不受歡迎的事物實際所具備的潛力和可能性。

Slow Editions presents
Every flower was wild and every plant was a weed
To look at things from a different perspective, one must occupy another vantage point. We nurture what we want and kill or pull up what we do not want: Cultivate subjective views and curate specific environments. Along the way, we made the choices to monopolize and manipulate wild living things and classified the rest as invasive.
Holding the soil this whole time was the unwanted weed. Naturally evolved wildflowers retaining its original shapes, sizes and fragrances with no alteration or modifications. Its seeds are the best travellers by wind or by water, spreading in unimaginable distances. Its origin simultaneous with the origin of mankind, manifests signs of strength and continues to adapt. Beauty in resilience, the exquisite flower nudges for a second look. A holistic shift in context reveals the potential and possibilities for the undesirable.
