Sedimentary Echoes

Split open, a tomato reveals a darkening line halfway through its flesh—a visible break between earlier tissue and more recent growth. Within this band are subtle shifts in color, hinting at fluctuations rather than a single moment’s shift. Each ring represents accumulated nourishment alongside the fading memory of what came before, history pressed into form and repeated in ever-smaller cycles. Offered freely as seedlings, these shared plants demonstrate how any current state arises from prior growth *and* holds the potential for further becoming; a quiet hum settles over the ripening fruit.
