Having read this, has completely changed the way I interpret the image. My
initial interpretation was the desire to grow something green when
surrounded by an urban environment, perhaps settling for a lowly weed...at
least it is green. Looking at it with your interpretation in mind is really
enlightening. I think I like the image even more now. I am looking forward
to seeing your progress on the image.
