This project looks at the potential for harvesting the water content of the human body as a valued natural resource in the face of future scarcity.
With our population set to boom by almost 3 billion by 2050, complete exacerbation of resources is a very real threat that we are already facing. The human body contains a vast wealth of raw materials and natural resources that are largely not utilised as it is seen as taboo. With a focus on the fresh water crisis, this project seeks to reposition the human body into the resource cycle from which we consume by proposing a system where people can choose to donate their body's water after death, in turn questioning how this scenario might become socially acceptable and honouring the rituals that surround the body after death.
