Nature(s)Medicine

The twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss are two of the biggest risks facing our ability to survive and thrive on this planet.

‘Nature(s) Medicine’ is built around pill cases with a medicine compartment for every weekday. It is a brooch made to leave small but vital particles of blooming nature on a map of wasteland made by human. The wearer must leave these particles of blooming life by emptying a medicine compartment and plant the seeds of wildflowers every day of the week. At the end of the week when all compartments are empty, the open brooch will look like a blooming flower itself.

Then the compartments are refilled with seeds and the sowing starts again. New particles of blooming life will be spread in nature and city helping to rebuild nature.
