Tasty additions so summer salads
With summer coming on, salads are becoming popular again, so I thought I would share some simple ways to make a salad a bit more interesting.
Nuts and Seeds such as almonds, sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, etc don't have to be used plain. Try:
* Dry roasting in an oven, or add olive oil and salt and roast.
* Toast in a lightly oiled pan.
* Sprinkle with Tamari or Coconut Aminos, mix through and roast in oven until dry and toasted.
* Try flavouring sunflower or almonds as follows. Mix together 2 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp lime juice, and 1 tsp ground cumin. Mix through the nuts or seeds and roast until dry and toasted.
Top salads with nuts and seeds just before serving, to add different flavours and textures. A great addition to green, beetroot, quinoa, rice or any other salad combination.
* Black Cumin Seeds, Nigella Sativa, also add an interesting flavour. They can be dry toasted until they become fragrant, then sprinkled on salads, or they can be added to a dressing. This is my favourite!

Adaptation is often understood as the ability to adjust to an environment, to accept its conditions and become less visible within it. In this body of work, the focus shifts to a different moment, the point at which adaptation reaches its limit and begins to form a boundary.
This boundary is not a gesture of refusal or isolation. It appears as a need to define how interaction with the outside world takes place. Not to shut it out, but to stay in contact while maintaining a sense of stability. Here, the boundary is not an opposition, but a way of reaching agreement.
The works take the form of wall-mounted sculptural objects, where the boundary becomes material and physically present. Within these objects, it is expressed through weight, density, surface, and tension of form, shifting from an abstract idea into a direct experience.
