Stella IakovlevaIn this series of scanograms, wild growing medicinal plants collected in urban environment.
Many of them are used in modern pharmacology to create medical drugs, yet their
existence remains unnoticed by most people, because we don’t need knowledge about
medicinal plants now.
At the same time, with the rise of urbanization, it is becoming increasingly difficult for these
plants to grow in cities, and many of them are gradually disappearing or being replaced by
other species better suited to surviving in urban environments.
I would like to preserve the memory of these disappearing plants and draw attention to their
value before they are lost from the cities.
