1. Tomatoes!
The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh had a small garden next to the main museum, which had cherry tomatoes along the fence. Throughout the summer residency, I was able to observe the growth of the plants. I was intrigued by the organic forms and colors of tomatoes, and it led me to think those qualities as different personalities.
