The agave grows for 30 years into a giant, often in barren places. Then in its final months, it projects an impressive flower ten meters up, lets its seeds off, then dies. For their seeds to mature, the pumpkin and pepper need to be eaten or to rot. A chopped-up piece of left-over cabbage, seemingly resisting annihilation, takes a last chance and shoots off a flower stem, assumingly hoping that a seed or two would make it to fertile grounds. This series displays aspects of the process from splendor to decay inherent to life - the death of the individual carrying the survival of the species. Does that explain the beauty?
