The Interconnected Network of Everything and Anything

Rhizomes (also called creeping rootstalk) are most popularly known as the botanical explanation for subterranean and horizontally expanding root networks, like the mycelium of fungi for example. Philosophers
Gilles Delueze and Felix Guatarri used this botanical concept to philosophically demonstrate and contemplate networks with no clear beginnings and endings, no hierarchal structure, and the interconnected relations found in both human and technological systems. Amara is drawn to the application of Rhizomatic theory in to personal world views and societal relations, because it means understanding the connective threads, and essence of life that exists and unites all living forms. She believes that if humans are able to develop a baseline understanding of the Rhizomatic theory, they will then transform into actions that come from a place of respect for all life. Finally, as a society, we will be able to stray away from scarcity mentality and hyper individualization. Leading us back into community based thinking, because we are all apart of a whole.
