Joyce Gehl seeds
Beneath the surface, the seed works so hard, all alone, to grow. Given the right conditions, a new life breaks through and a complex and beautiful plant emerges.
Life is a continuing series of beginnings and endings. Nature teaches us resiliency and diversity. Just as the seed of the plant rests dormant until the right combination of circumstances bring it to life, a revelation within us lies hidden from view unless encouraged to grow and flourish.
Seeds is a visual journal of a life that seeks to blossom.
