Heru Agus - the plant (r)evolution

Plants are the basis of human life. The story goes, the first living organism, a blue-green algae,
appeared over 3,000 million years ago. Before the plants appeared, the Mother Earth was unlivable
for humans and other beings who needed oxygen. The Earth was full of carbon dioxide.
Then, these plants evolved through photosynthesis. Slowly over several million years,
they cleaned the atmosphere and filled the Earth with oxygen.
Plants are the most precious living organism on earth. the source of oxygen and the source of food.

The human civilization started its evolution with cultivating plants.
But how many of us do really know how plants come to be?
How many of us have seen the process of a seed turning into a seedling and then into a plant?

Technological revolution of the late 19th century and the urbanization that developed with it
have separated some of us from nature. With urbanization, few of us have seen where our
food comes from.

This project is inspired by beans. beans are among one of the longest-cultivated plants.
The beans have witnessed the beginning of human civilization. The beans are a history-rich
plant that made it to our modernity. The change that the beans undergo from its seed form
to becoming a plant has been happening for millennia now.
However, this hasn’t changed its initial form.
