1. INTRODUCTION _________________________________________1
2. INFLUENCES ____________________________________________3
Personal inspiration
Own experience :
-Childhood encounter with plants in dad’s garden
-taking care of plants
-living with other people and found their negligence towards plants
-my response towards people viewing plants as something to be throwing away
-how easily people forgot plants
-our responsibility towards plants
-Plants are not thought as living beings having their own souls, instead they are considered as commodities which one can buy under five dollars and not feel the slightest pinch of throwing away a living being. In this way plants are treated as objects to beautify the place and something which can be replaced with a new one when its purpose is done.
Outside inspiration
Documentary
-Michael Pollan botany of desire
: how plants influnece human beings in a way
thinking about how plants control human
-A research where two plants are given different treatments
One is spoken to in a positive manner, and the other in a negative manner
The result shows that the plant receiving positive words grew taller and healthier as opposed to the plant who received negative words.
-Dr. Masaru Emoto’s water experiments
-A similar research was proven by scientists only in this research they used water, frozen water. The water that received good music and positive words crystallized into a beautiful design as opposed to water which received negative words it turned into something humans won’t appreciate.

Mood
-A spoof making fun of classic horror genre
