How may we use otherworlding to reduce over-consumption and hoarding of material?
Based of the concepts of indigenous knowledges, animism and new-materialism, I aim to present a number of in-animate objects with spirituality and agency. By humanising inanimate objects that surround us, consumers are positioned to be more selective in their material acquisitions - and once they do consume, in how they use and discard/re-purpose their object.
I aim to use colloquial discourse to create scenarios that are relatable to the common person, allowing all to have the opportunity to connect on a personal level with these in-animate objects. (familiar > cryptic)

In an educational landscape, teenagers benefit from active learning over passive learning. New Light is a typographic project that attempts to recontextualise the story of Inferno through the medium of an interactive exhibition space. Throughout the exhibition, participants are presented with three major areas where they can engage with the ideas and content behind Inferno. Functionally, the works call on untraditional methods of literary education, such as physical engagement and the use of digital technology. Youth vernacular is activated in the spaces through expressive semiotics and the voice of rebellion rings throughout the exhibition. For the reluctant reader, their experience with these aspects of the exhibition may spark new interest and increased engagement in reading. Ultimately, the exhibition encourages participants to view literature in a new light.

esc.index (Ethical and Sustainable Couture Index) is a project that responds to the unsustainable and unethical fashion processes that impact both consumer behavior and the physical environment.
Our hope for esc.index is to instigate a level of change by offering a collated database of resources. This project proposes a conscious awareness and dedication in bridging the gap between attitude and behaviour surrounding themes of fashion sustainability.
