Project: NG-1 (2018)
I created garment prototypes constructed from bio-degradable fabric, bio-plastic, and then embedded with vegetable seeds. It’s a consumer product embedded with some responsibility: compost or plant your garment, and reap the benefits.
The goal of the garments lifecycle is to create a double closed loop: the decay of the original product (the garment) gives way to another product (vegetables), that again is naturally consumed and “recycled”.
While touching on the destructive food and fashion industries, NG-1 ultimately celebrates the ritual of burial and cultivation — life and death.
