Description:
The central theme of this installation focuses on the environmental impact of certain plant species. I have created eight groups from plants found along the Danube that form distinct ecological categories. This approach also carries an intriguing aesthetic aspect, which stands at the intersection of color theory, aesthetics, and ecology. Classification: Native medicinal species along the Danube: Sambucus nigra - Elderberry Invasive medicinal species along the Danube: Solidago - Goldenrod Invasive allelopathic species along the Danube: Ailanthus altissima - Tree of Heaven Invasive toxic species along the Danube: Parthenocissus vitacea - Virginia Creeper Native toxic species along the Danube: Conium maculatum - Poison Hemlock Natural inducer, invasive ornamental plant along the Danube: Hydrangea serrata - Mountain Hydrangea Hyperaccumulator native species along the Danube: Medicago sativa - Alfalfa Banned species in Hungary along the Danube due to its intoxicating effect: Othello grape variety
