We Are the Weeds: A Gallery of GIFs

We are the weeds.
We are in the buildings, the cracks, the fields, the roadsides.
Stubborn, that’s us.
We are many and not alone.
We are on the side of time,
We have time on our side.

~

Kamilah rumpai.
Hidup di celah, gudang, padang, tepi jalan.
Degil.
Tak terbilang, tak bersendirian.
Kami berpihak, ya, kepada masa,
Masa berpihak kepada kami.

These gifs are based on “WEEDS/RUMPAI” – a series of paintings of various garden weeds on political party flags. Check out the original artworks at weeds.sharonchin.com.
