Shouting tomatoes

Food Waste x Tomatoe shout sound x Water Waste x WC

The bathroom, a symbol of excess and hygiene, becomes the unlikely greenhouse for a grotesque harvest. Overflowing with lush tomato plants rooted in the bowl of a toilet, this sterile space is transformed into a site of vegetal protest.

Science tells us tomatoes emit ultrasonic cries when stressed by thirst. Here, that finding is turned into a visual scream. Red fruit—ripe, luminous—spills from a place of waste, while water, the most vital resource, leaks and pools in silence.

The installation plays with paradox: food growing from filth, beauty in a site of disposal, plants pleading in frequencies humans cannot hear. The absurdity becomes confrontation.

This is not about growth, but neglect. Not about ecology, but the irony of abundance. A piece where the tomatoes, quite literally, have something to say.
