This series of memories started at the space created by the way the plants leave their bodies while spinning. Memories of blowing dandelions away, watching maple leaves fall, bamboo leaves swirling and tumbling through the air. And the Samara described by the author in <Naturalis Historia>. The spaces created by these spinning traces of movement are in different times and places but have the potential to give similar memories to people in any cultures backgrounds

From time to time I feel lucky when I look at the minutiae of plants under the microscope. Beneath the tiny things is a busy, orderly world, as chaotic and as orderly as the normal world we live in.
When I placed a fern leaf on a slide and suddenly saw a spore burst through the high magnification eyepiece of the glass, I couldn't help but feel the urge to make a wish, and what such beauty connected in the nerves of my brain was the awe-inspiring image of seeing a shooting star for the first time feeling overwhelmed. Nothing fuller than a finer little orb rolled off a spore, and the instant the fragrant bubble burst, I thought if it was quiet enough, it must have been a loud bang just like the Big Bang.
