Using images of pressed Persian iris specimens held in Western herbariums, all superimposed information was digitally removed, leaving only the anatomical contours of the plants. Anthotypes were then created from these modified images using a natural dye made from saffron. To reintroduce the original polychromatic palette of the different species, color swatches were embroidered into each sheet. On top of the yellow prints, scientific projections were replaced with archival findings, and a translucent fabric layer was added, carrying evidence of Western interventions in each province where these species originated.
