Abstract
The December wind blew fiercely against the long, glass halls of the Turner greenhouse. The whistling wind sneaks through the glass panes as it harmonizes with my own hummed tune – working steadily along the crepuscular sky, serenading the sun to its slumber. The darkened sky tries to swallow the illuminated structure, but fails in its effort. An earthy petrichor perfumes the room; wet earth and soybeans. It is here we invigilate over life cycles – ones with secrets we uncover through our work, ones that have passed us by for generations. Here, in an artificial womb, we steward the circle of life.
