THETHEMEEXPLAINED
BotanyandFloraoftheAncientWorld
IN A WORLD OF EVER-GROWING, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, IT IS EASY TO FORGET ABOUT THE THINGS GIVEN TO US ORGANICALLY BY NATURE. THEY APPEAR IN THE BACKGROUNDS OF OUR FAMILY PHOTOS, ON OUR PLATES AT DINNER, AND IN OUR HOMES ON HOLIDAYS-- PLANT LIFE HAS ALWAYS FOUND A WAY TO INTERTWINE WITH HUMAN LIFE. FOR ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS, PLANT LIFE FOUND ITSELF IN EVERY OUTLET OF EVERYDAY LIVING. FROM AGRICULTURE, TO ART, TO RELIGION, TO HOUSING, PLANTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SEEN AS A GIFT OF NATURE-- ONE THAT HAS SECURED MANY BLESSINGS FOR HUMANITY,
FOR THIS YEAR'S SCRAPBOOK, EACH EVENT IS COMPARED TO A PLANT USED BY ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS. LIKE EVERY EVENT HOSTED BY JCL, EACH PLANT HAS ITS OWN UNIQUE QUALITIES THAT ARE TIED TO THE EVENT. THE SCRAPBOOK AS A WHOLE IS SET UP TO MIMIC AN AGED BOTANICAL BOOK, WITH ART INSPIRED BY SCIENTIFIC DRAWINGS.
