Change doesn’t happen overnight. It grows slowly, shaped and reshaped in response to our actions over time. Nurturing the future into being begins with planting seeds today.


As you step into the MOD. Foyer, take a moment to look up. This sculpture was inspired by groundbreaking plant phenomics research at Adelaide University’s Waite Campus, where scientists have access to world-class infrastructure to study plants and seeds under various stress conditions.


These three concentric rings suspend thousands of dried wheat stalks illuminated by ultraviolet LED light. By 2050, global demand for wheat is expected to rise by 60%, meaning we’ll need to dramatically increase production without compromising soil health. Discover how this research can support the future of sustainable agriculture both on this planet and beyond.


CULTIVATION is part of the 2026 MOD. exhibition, BEGINNINGS.
