Through a multidisciplinary approach, this body of work examines themes of displacement, longing for homelands left behind, and alienation within new and often hostile environments. These concepts are explored through the migrations of plant species, revealing how botanical explorations and scientific research have been deeply entwined with the exploitation of non-Western geographies. By addressing the enduring legacies of colonialism, the work highlights the profound ways in which hegemonic powers have shaped human lives, cultural traditions, demographics, and ecologies, as well as the natural world.
