Unity of HeavenandHumanity speculative design, media art
This project focuses on exploring and reinforcing the relationship between the individual and nature through innovative design concepts, especially in responding to the contemporary food waste problem.
Inspired by the art of life sciences, this conceptual model takes the form of a plant and aims to process and transform wasted food on a household and individual level. By placing leftover food into the model's holding chamber, specific enzymes are utilized to accelerate the decomposition of the food and its eventual conversion into a useful bioenergy gas. Once enough gas has been collected, the conceptual model releases the energy gas back into nature in the form of spores, thus contributing to a healthy cycle of the environment and realizing a modern interpretation of "Feeding back to nature" and “Unity of Heaven and Humanity”.
