"Grow up"

Double meanings or ambiguity can be visualized in various

​​

ways. It is all about finding the right sentence a second

​​

meaning and the right material that forms it. This is easier​

​

than it is really but during my research and experimenting with

​

about 15 topics I came across natural materials which react to

​

certain conditions.



This brought me to the cree plant as it is the fastest in growing

​

and you can literally watch how they enlarge or expand. 



I decided to document this process during a period of 6 days

​

and designed a story board. I spelled the letters 



G-R-O-W U-P in capital letters to visualise growing up as in

​

growing up at home from a child to an adult and growing up as

​

it the seeds are developing and increasing to plants.

​

6th. day - Analysing the observation that the movments of the growing process was going towards the window - in the direction of the sun. The lifespan and the growing process were the same interval.

5th. day - The excitement of noticing the first movements even if
the process of growth is too slow for the human eye to perceive.

3th. day - Temperature : Cling film increased the process of
growing as the effect was similar to the the one as in a “glasshouse“.

1st. day - Spreading out the seeds made me realise they cannot
be too close together as it would suspend or stop them from growing.
