Inoculate- a Florilegium is a project by Ana Maria Gómez López, Starting point was the artist's question whether it is possible for a plant to sprout in one’s eye sustained by tears alone? Gómez López inserted a begonia seed wit hthe help of a silicone punctal plug into her lower tear duct. After two weeks of remaining still and indoors, the seed produced a miniscule sprout. Gómez López titled this process Inoculate, a term that is now used in the context of medical immunization, but which originally described the horticultural process of grafting a bud or shoot of one plant into another, deriving from the Latin root in oculus—in the eye. This extensively illustrated publication describes the process.
