The way we look at nature is characterised by the tools and techniques we use to observe, collect and categorise it. Soil samples, specimen and taxonomy, are all constructed to spot differences, and to record them through our signs and symbols, colonising the site from within our own beliefs. In this dichotomy of humans opposing nature, nature can only be the mere object to be observed by us, the subject.

Specimen as a method of collection, labelling and systematical categorisation of individual plants are replaced by very specific, subjective transcriptions. In these transcriptions, the original plants are no longer personally present, instead embodied through words located accordingly within the graphic space of the page.
