Using photographs and text, Botanikos calls on its readers/viewers to understand the deeply rooted dependence we have on the universe and its plants to sustain human life. This is another one of Oppen’s’ works that call on her readers/viewers to reflect on the simplest aspects of human life itself and remember the unbreakable tie to nature that it holds.
'Botanikos celebrates simply the significance of plants to the sustenance of life on our planet. Plants are everywhere except the very extreme zones, because of their omnipresence we take them for granted. This book calls you to stop and take note' (Monica Oppen, Bibliotheca Librorum apud Artificem catalogue).
The book also includes a small public declaration piece; 'It’s Time!.'
