The project is based on research into medicinal plants growing in Iran and Ireland, conducted under the guidance of a scientific researcher. A visual study of the natural area surrounding the institute’s location in the west of Ireland provided the impetus for developing a sedative herbal tea for the project. In essence, this is an exercise exploring the connection between image and imagination, alongside a scientific study of an edible substance.
The composition of the tea is as follows:
Coriander Seed + Hypericum Perforatum + Lavender + Dracocephalum + Valerian
