Starlit Ethnobotanical Wonders explores the connection between ethnobotanical knowledge and the ecosystems of nocturnal pollination. Rooted in island culture, medicinal herbology, and traditional plant wisdom, the project reflects on the long relationship between humans, plants, and healing practices shaped through generations.
The ikebana-based residency brings together performance and community workshops, it centres on humanity's symbiotic relationship with nature, drawing from island culture, medicinal herbology, and the traditions of islanders who have long honoured plants for their therapeutic and cultural significance within everyday life.
The ikebana performance becomes a living tribute to intergenerational knowledge and collective memory. Each plant and material is carefully chosen for its medicinal associations and cultural resonance, weaving together stories of care, ritual, and connection. The project opens a dialogue across cultural landscapes connecting humanity, plants, and the ecosystems we share.
