The image displays a large art installation consisting of twelve framed photographs arranged in a three-row, four-column grid on a dark blue wall within an exhibition space. Each photograph features a distinct individual, predominantly of Black or Indigenous ethnicity, depicted in a state of repose with their head and upper torso partially submerged in or covered by a specific agricultural product or food item. The individual photographs show: 1. A person surrounded by large, irregular brown tubers and pieces of wood. 2. A person enveloped by fresh corn on the cob and green leaves. 3. A person covered in white, irregularly popped popcorn kernels. 4. A person with a beard immersed in green beans. 5. A person lying on yellow granular material, with dark, string-like elements around their head. 6. A person covered in elongated, light-brown tubers, possibly sweet potatoes. 7. A person immersed in a mixture of small red and light-brown legumes or grains. 8. A person wearing a white garment, covered in light green, pea-like spheres and a few larger white spheres. 9. A person covered in numerous small, reddish-brown spherical items. 10. A person wearing a white garment, covered in white granular material, possibly rice or tapioca, with interspersed yellowish spheres. 11. A person with their head surrounded by a swirl pattern of mixed black and orange-brown seeds. 12. A person covered in white, irregular, small granules. The subjects generally appear with closed or downcast eyes, contributing to a tranquil and contemplative atmosphere. The exhibition environment features a uniform dark blue wall, a dark floor with a single thin white horizontal line, and an overhead light source reflecting at the top of the image. This artwork, "A Semente" by Joana Mendes, was exhibited at the Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo (MAM São Paulo) in São Paulo, Brazil.
