A skull facing forward is shown as an huge bulb/corm of an underground plant – a geophyte, or simply “Earth Plant”. The term describes “a plant that shelter their resting bud in the soil when environmental conditions are not to their liking.“ The Bulb has an important function as energy storage organs during dormancy – We compare that image with the growing child in the lower side of the design.
Having said that, we could easily imagine a symbolic development from within as a plant grows in the underground, forming the bulb, waiting for the right moment to search the outside. We see similarities with this moment we were forced to wait in quarantine, maybe as an opportunity to rediscover dormant parts of ourselves in order to improve them.
