The history of the raised fist is one associated with fighting oppression. Here, Ellie Foreman-Peck is symbolising how the power of plants across all areas of life on earth have been overpowered and repressed. It is a symbolic gesture of the hope that the world is moving towards actively making more sustainable choices in order to secure the future of our planet and how plants will be an integral part of such decisions.
Being a lifelong vegetarian, the celebration of vegetables is a topic close to Ellie Foreman-Peck’s heart. The wonderful power of the plant is depicted in this two colour hand screen print which was commissioned especially for Unilever’s Four Acres site in Kingston.
