The Coexistence of Nature, Humanity, and the Future
When time flies, the future earth has become a bleak planet, gradually polluted so that creatures cannot live freely in the air.
In nature, plants are the earliest creatures born. They have accumulated a lot of wisdom in long-term evolution, and have gradually evolved into higher-order life after generations of changes.
Plants began to fight back against humans. By invading the human body, humans were assimilated by plants and evolved.
And between natural plants, humans, and bionic plants created by humans, after assimilation, will there be peace due to convergence, or greater conflict due to differences? Next, I will investigate and analyze according to the following five directions.
1. Do plants think?
If it is said that the human mode "thinks" to judge, it is certainly not, but the way they "think" may be incomprehensible to us. Just as "humans can never understand how bats feel," we can't experience the way plants think. Just like 3D creatures can only think about 3D problems, there are countless n+1 dimensions, but we can't see and hear them.
For example, plants can respond to changes in light, temperature, humidity, and other environmental factors by adjusting their growth and development.
They can also communicate with other plants and with animals through chemical signals, such as releasing volatile compounds to attract pollinators or to warn neighboring plants of herbivore attacks. While these responses may seem like conscious decision-making or problem-solving, hey are the result of complex biochemical and physiological processes that have evolved over millions of years in response to environmental pressures.
Perhaps, we can use existing human technology to observe and understand plants, such as sensors and other related technologies, and then can we try to understand the wisdom of nature and imitate plants through sensors?
2. The hostile relationship between humans and plants.
Plants need water and air, but in human social activities, the water is polluted and the air is no longer clean.
The environment that was originally suitable for survival has become unfavorable for plant growth. The adversity of pollution caused by man is no less than the random influence of nature, especially air pollution, which is harmful to plants.
Air pollutants such as carbon dioxide and fluoride will cause physiological obstacles to plants, such as slow growth, unfavorable reproduction, and the ability to fight diseases and pests will also decline.
3. How Plants Assimilate Humans.
Humans and plants have a mutually beneficial relationship. Plants provide oxygen for humans to breathe, and humans provide carbon dioxide for plants to use in photosynthesis. Additionally, humans rely on plants for food, medicine, and a variety of other resources, making plants an essential part of our daily lives.
For example, touching plants, plants can be harmful or toxic to humans if ingested or if their sap or thorns come into contact with the skin.
Another way in which humans assimilate plants is through consumption. We rely on plants for food and sustenance, consuming fruits, vegetables, seeds, and grains daily. lants also play a crucial role in the fashion industry, with cotton being a particularly important crop.
When we wear plant-based materials such as cotton, we are assimilating plants into our daily lives, wrapping ourselves in their fibers and assimilating from their natural properties.
After assimilation between species, human beings may be able to understand plant thoughts, resulting in changes in behavior and body structure, and appearance.
4. Natural plants, humans, and biomimetic plants created by humans.
Biomimetic plants are artificial structures or devices that mimic the structure or function of natural plant systems.
These biomimetic plants are created by humans and often incorporate materials and design principles inspired by plants. So, when there is a hostile relationship between humans and natural plants, which side will the bionic plants created by humans stand on?
5. Common goals and co-evolution.
In fact, on the whole, it is still hoped that through the collision and fusion of plants and different materials, the closer the contact between species will be brought out after assimilation, and peace will be brought by the trend of the same, achieving the goal of common evolution and saving the environment. Human beings will coexist with other species.
About using plants as inspiration for my FYP collection:
Fashion has always been a reflection of the times. As we move towards a greener future, plants have become a major indicator of fashion. From plant-based materials to prints and patterns, I hope to integrate nature into my design in a creative way.
In my works, I got a lot of inspiration from deconstructivism, a style that involves breaking down traditional garment structures and reassembling them in unexpected ways. This approach lends itself well to plant-inspired designs, as it allows for a more organic, flowing silhouette that mimics the shapes and forms found in nature.
At the same time. I mainly use draping techniques, as they allow for a more three-dimensional, sculptural look. By manipulating fabrics and using strategic cuts and folds, designers can create garments that appear to grow and evolve on the body, much like plants do in nature.
Of course, the materials used in these designs are as important as the technology. Many designers are turning to environmentally friendly fabrics, such as organic cotton and recycled yarn, to create sustainable and ecologically conscious fashion. These materials not only reduce the impact of fashion production on the environment but also increase the overall sense of nature of plant-inspired design.
But it's not just about aesthetics and sustainability; plant-inspired fashion a lso explores deeper themes of crisis, control, protection, resistance, cooperation, and symbiosis. For example, plant-inspired designs may contain elements of restraint and control, reflecting the idea that human beings can cultivate and manipulate the natural world. Similarly, designs that emphasize protection and resistance may take advantage of the inherent strength and elasticity of plants to thrive even in harsh or challenging environments.
Overall, plant-inspired fashion represents my desire for a greener and more sustainable future. By incorporating the charm and vitality of nature into our clothing, we can create a more harmonious relationship between fashion and the environment.
