Artist's Statement:
I read someplace that the coconut is a seed capable of traveling long distances over water to find new beaches where it will root. It almost sounds like a human metaphor, with one big difference, they don’t have to show passports, visas or go through immigration controls to be established in a new land. There are no lines dividing countries and from space the mass of land unifies races and countries. If we could only learn from the seeds…, they are free like men, but we seem to ignore it. We are brothers but we usually dismiss the thought. Utopia is real, but delusion is a fact. Art may help to unveil the truth. Seeds are proof of it.
