James Wood is a father, a husband, and someone people depend on. Between family and work, his life was full of joy, with a bright future ahead of him. Ten years ago, without warning, an infection began to grow on his brain. Emergency surgery saved his life, but half of his skull was removed in the process and replaced with a synthetic bone flap. Since then, the man who once carried others has found himself relying on them instead.
Botany is an intimate look at what comes after that kind of rupture. It examines how James found his footing on a long and uneven path to recovery.
At its core, Botany is about dependence, dignity, and the shifting roles within a family during times of hardship.
