“Plant Token” represents plant life as a form of essential wealth within the symbolic currency of the TOKENS series. Set against a metallic green background, intricate compositions of metallic gold and silver dots and lines evoke the complexity of vegetation and the interconnected structures that sustain natural ecosystems.

The use of precious metallic colors traditionally associated with wealth contrasts with the work’s underlying message: that the true value of plants lies not in their monetary worth, but in their essential role in sustaining life. The circular format reinforces ideas of continuity, renewal, and the cycles through which nature regenerates.

Through this interplay of color, geometry, and symbolism, the work invites reflection on biodiversity, ecological balance, and the recognition of nature as one of humanity’s most valuable forms of wealth.
