"With thе interactive installation "Growing Responsibility" I wanted to touch upon the problems of migration, raising the issue of the visitor’s active position towards invasive plant species. The installation is conceived as a study on the responsibility of the viewer. He is being challenged to reconsider the issues of migration as a natural distribution; of setting limits to changes and to limit the possibility of species’ adaptation."
