"Botanica Linea is a reflection on inheritance: the traits we carry forward, often without noticing, and the ways they shape our lives. At its centre is the castor plant, chosen for its duality: a plant that holds both remedy and poison. For me, it speaks to the complexity of what is passed down - the way we talk, the way we love, the habits, traditions and silences that live in our bones. They shape who we are becoming as much as what we must learn to resist." — Raniya Mansoor
