Vata (Βάτος + -ά): Greek name of a wild berries species in Greece.

Commonly grown and used as a natural fence to mark and protect private properties in rural areas.

Their roots expand fast and deeply into the soil.

They prevent the growth of other species due to their uncontrolled roots.

Depending on their stage of growth, their taste range from sweet to sour.

The gardening culture is commonly used as an example of how a society should be arranged.

An authority shapes the garden, and it chooses what fits where, what will and how it will be used, and what stays out.

Hands (Χέρι + α): Part of the body used for manipulation, sensation, and communication.

Small gestures can indicate fear, trauma, care, need…

Looking at the hands, we grasp a sensation of a person’s story.

A hand could practice acts of barbarism, or it could resist the vulgarity with its tenderness.

Using the hand, a plant is harvested, and its fruits are tasted.

To cultivate tenderness in soil invaded by Vata, uproot them to prevent regrowth.
