02 / WARNING STAMP
Contamination blooms sideways.
Grease makes a halo. A plastic fork sprouts theatrical roots. The report does not scold; it points with a crooked arrow and asks what kind of soil the object expected.

REPORT SCENE 01 / INTAKE
Intake: the table receives everything.
A crushed carton arrives with onion skin, grit, and a brass marigold stain. The sorting line is a community table after rain: practical, crowded, and quietly ceremonial.

03 / SECOND LIFE
Glass remembers as petals.
Cobalt fragments make a flower that refuses prettiness. Pull-tabs become seed pods; a bottle cap rotates like a stubborn sun above the damp line of ink.
SORTED? MAYBE
ROOTED MATERIAL
04 / COMPOST OF EVIDENCE
Waste is never visually neutral.
The file closes with roots, arrows, glass, and municipal ink. Nothing vanishes cleanly; matter only changes hands, names, bins, and weather.
