The fusion of modern plastic and ancient plants in a single object creates a balance between technology and nature, the living and the non-living, the past and the future.

Moss serves as an important medium in these projects. As mosses are among the oldest plants on our planet, they are about 300 million years old. Most existing species of moss are contemporaries of dinosaurs. Mosses enriched the atmosphere with oxygen and initiated a cycle to maintain its constant level, paving the way for complex life. Without the evolution of humble moss, we would not be here today. With the increase of plastic on earth and the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and without eco-friendly ways of recycling it, we may soon not remain.

Possibly, the ability of moss to adapt to various conditions will provide a solution to this problem. They can attach to various surfaces, including even those most unsuitable for life. It is precisely because of this feature that mosses can grow almost anywhere, actively colonizing new territories, including lands devastated by fires, deforestation, with weathered or simply eroded soil. Meanwhile, as they die off, they improve the soil structure, allowing other, more complex plants to settle in these places.
