Palm notes
Four close readings connect what can be seen in a single palm with the managed grove, seasonal fruit work and the structure of a prepared leaf.

System / 028 min
A grove in three layers
Upper canopy, middle growth, cultivated ground and water make a vertical agricultural section.
Work / 037 min
Fruit bunch to harvest
Pollination and fruit development lead to skilled, variable work rather than a single harvest moment.
Material / 047 min
The leaf after the crown
Drying, sorting, splitting and interlacing turn plant material into a legible structure.
A necessary limit
Looking does not grant entry.
A grove may be privately managed, irrigated and actively worked. Use public or invited positions, keep clear of channels and equipment, and never climb a palm.
