In Bioprintscapes Infocused on Bio-textiles aiming to endorse sustainability by exploring the concept of Materiality, deepening my understanding of textiles as a dynamic medium. I experimented on how materials can be made in a sustainable manner using everyday means like food leftovers, expired bell peppers etc. I also explored how materials would react to different conditions (e.g., natural dyes) and printing techniques. This venture developed my knowledge on sustainability reinforcing my passion for material exploration. Besides the experimental side of this project there is also one focused on print. The inspiration for my prints came directly from nature and the bio-materials themselves. Sustainable printing methods such as digital printing and innovative techniques are promoted and experimented with.
