Invasive plant matter, gathered and subjected to sunlight and herbicide, leaves a dense yellow impression against a muddy pink ground. The chemical reaction produces drifting shadows and subtle tonal blooms. The process transforms eradication into image – part botanical record, part alchemical trace – where light, time, and material quietly collaborate.
