This is the catalogue of the solo exhibition of Indian artist Sonia Mehra Chawla titled 'The Embryonic Plant and Otherworlds' at 10 Chancery Lane Gallery, Hong Kong, from February and April 2013.

'The suite of works are a meditation on the passage of nature’s cycle and the temporal flow of birth and regeneration. The images are at once generative and sensuous, macabre and degenerate, opulent and awe-inspiring, carrying within them the vitality of the living, and the vulnerability of decay. For philosopher Michel Foucault, "heterotopias" designates real or imagined spaces of escape/departure, transformation, or revelation.' - from gallery website.

There are poems alongside plates.

Includes biographies of the artist and contributors.
