Plants and space travel

Plants are raw and unformed(in terms of manufacturing), the natural occurrence of life is evident upon them. They are materials that are purely physical and not processed, so when you work with plants, and to take it on a journey of travelling through space, it records down the purest process of it. The 'pureness' within materials that are unprocessed could be a physical documentation of space travelling, as through transferring from physical to digital will be documented by the alteration of the object itself. I want to use plants as a symbolic demonstration of the physical and initialisation and to experiment with it by transforming it into virtual reality on the internet.
