Since 2009, the artist has been keeping an archive of 2D images recorded on a scanner. Cristina Lei Rodriguez’s art practice cultivates native and tropical plants in her garden as a study and mediation on how nature adapts, thrives, fails, and is born again. It is the artist's source of illumination on the complexity of life and the ever-changing world we live in. By leaving the scanner lid open, Rodriguez records the changing natural light of the sky while documenting the vitality of the plant's life. The final high-resolution scan magnifies the flora’s details, while creating abstraction and digital interruptions.  Each image is a moment in time visually recorded and documented into the artist’s increasing archive of over 500 images.
