pohã ñana

A character hides behind a dandelion weed, their body no larger than the plant itself. The scene proposes a shift in perspective, where human presence is re-scaled to coexist with the botanical world rather than dominate it. The dandelion, often considered invasive, becomes a site of protection and reverence, challenging the hierarchies that separate the natural from the human.

It draws from the Guarani concept of pohã ñana, an ancestral understanding of plants as living medicines and holders of knowledge. Within this cosmology, flora is not perceived as decorative or secondary matter but as active agents of healing, communication, and resistance.
