Vibrant Grafting
Sticky amber sap clings to a fingernail while the vine pulses with a rhythmic, muscular intent against the metal of the pruning shears. Each incision leaves jagged scar tissue along the bark, tracing an irreversible path where the plant’s growth meets human intervention. To cut is to reshape the very architecture of this vitality, forcing two distinct rhythms into a single, tangled knot. In the sudden silence following the snip, the wound slowly weeps, accepting its new form.
