Plants, too, possess vision—not in the way humans do, but in their innate ability to perceive and respond to light. They grow toward the source of illumination, stretching toward it with unwavering devotion. From the moment they sprout until the day they wither, plants exist in a perpetual state of contemplation, directing their entire being toward the sun. To them, the sun is both a god and an ideal, the ultimate presence they seek from their very first leaf.
Yet, despite their natural inclination toward symmetry and perfect geometric proportions, countless factors disrupt this pursuit—shadows, physical obstructions, and environmental conditions. Achieving perfect symmetry, then, becomes a mark of the highest level of consciousness. At certain moments, at the peak of their existence, having absorbed enough energy, plants ascend to a higher state of awareness. It is in this state that they create flowers.
Flowers are the ultimate creation of plants—crafted in the image of the sun, as perceived through their unique vision. Each plant, in its own perspective, sees the sun differently, and thus, each flower is a reflection of that vision. The ability to attract and draw others toward them, an art learned from the sun, manifests in the way flowers emerge as radiant beacons for pollinators. Their colors, their structures, their very essence—each is an attempt to recreate the sun, to encapsulate its energy in a form that invites life to interact with it.
Thus, plant vision clarifies the essence of visual perception—when the source of solar illumination is singular, yet images perceived by different plants millions. Similarly, we, humans assign images in our imagination to the sources of energy we perceive.
