My Take On Radicant -- Miyu Imazaki

The video showcasing historical botanical models in the Radicant exhibition was intriguing. The models were complicatedly crafted, blending art and science beautifully. However, the narration was delivered in a whispering tone, and without English subtitles, so it makes it difficult for me to understand the exact content.

The installation with convolvulus growing in glass tubes was also captivating. Watching the plants grow showed nature’s beauty and strength.

Overall, the exhibition made me rethink how I see plants. Now, I see them not just as background objects but as important, living things that deserve more appreciation and take care more carefully in our daily lives.

    Which was more impressive for you, Radicant or the installation?

    I agree that the way of seeing plants was changed through the exhibition. What are you going to do specifically to take care about plants?

      I would try to avoid stepping on the grass as you wrote in your blog.

    I agree with you, Miyu that after I went to the art gallery, I felt that each plant has its own value even weeds that I often overlook the value of them. Therefore, this teaches me that small things could turn to be something amazing and valuable.

      Exactly. We could learn how fleeting plants are as living beings.

    I also think it's too challenging for me to understand the subject of the movie... But I agree with your idea, the exhibision masterfully combine science and art!

    the narration was delivered in a whispering tone without English subtitles. It was hard for me to listen but I could tell how amazing the plants are!

    It is interesting that the poems were whispered. They added to giving the video a kind of spiritual & mysterious nature as a result. I don't think the artists expect the viewers to take in all of the poems' details on a first watching. I found the meaning of them became clearer on a second and third viewing.

Emma Rosen suggests asking yourself 3 questions to help clarify what kind of work you should do. They are "What skills do you want to be using at work?" -- Do you like to lead a team, write or solve problems? "What do you want to get out of work?" -- It could be the chance to change the world or to enjoy variety or, say, autonomy in the workplace -- and "What kind of working environment would you prefer?" -- Do you want to work in an office or outdoors, for a big company or start your own? How about you? Respond to Emma's 3 questions in this post. Emma also suggests it is important to do multiple work placements in a range of careers. That way you can choose a job based on knowledge and experience rather than assumptions, hearsay and expectations. Is this something you would like to try? If so, how could you make it happen? Emma characterises herself as a wide achiever rather than a high achiever and suggests that the 'portfolio career' where o...

I only agree with that I am assessed as rebellious. I used to don’t follow what teacher says in school. I did what I wanted to do freely.

  I totally agree with this result. I think one of my strengths is being conscientious and mature. I always care about other people’s feelings and try to see things from different perspectives. This result also says that I tend to avoid conflict, which is true because I don’t like trouble or arguments with others. I try to avoid them as much as possible, even if it means enduring something unpleasant. However, I know that avoiding conflict is not always a good thing and sometimes doesn’t lead to productive outcomes.  If I had to disagree with one point, it would be that others take advantage of me. I’ve never felt that way. If I realized that someone was trying to take advantage of me, I would make sure to express my opinion clearly.
