Artist Philip Ross’s work explores humanity’s relationship with plants.

From the Series

Artist Philip Ross’s work explores humanity’s relationship with plants. While Roundabout is an autonomous garden system once plugged in, Ross raises the question of whether an astronaut armed with such a farm would stake their life on it in Mars. Further exploring this power relationship humans enact on nature, Junior Return is a closed system that keeps the enclosed plant in a static state – it does not grow, nor does it die.
