- SYMBIOTIC GROWTH: Degree projectMy project is inspired by the visual and tactile properties of lichen to reflect on how interacting with materials can enhance our emotional wellbeing. The symbiotic relationship between lichen and its facilitators, which enables it to grow, emulates the connection that people have with inanimate objects.
