Part two needed vertical collapse — a place where European precision tried to impose order on African botanical knowledge and failed beautifully.

The tooth-compass here isn't finding north — it's finding which grandmother knew which root. The lavender distillery is the perfect corpse of that failed extraction. I wanted her dress to show the negotiation: indigenous weaving techniques holding structure while colonial transparency floats above, stained by the very plants it tried to catalog. —Lux
