Monash Art, Design and Architecture Graduate Exhibition 2023

I am Luqi Ke, a spatial designer. The inspiration for this project comes from the pollution of the environment and the human body caused by the large amount of plastic products in our lives. In modern life, plastic products and plastic food packaging have completely penetrated our lives, becoming an indispensable part of our daily routines. While they appear to add convenience, the problem of environmental pollution has grown more severe.

Fresh Body

This project is tailored to address contemporary concerns about our body's health, with a specific focus on the issue of microplastics. We've introduced a novel approach to the expulsion of microplastics from the body. Fresh Body is a routine cleansing procedure that entails the consumption of a specialized device. This apparatus is designed to aid in the removal of inadvertently ingested microplastics. Moreover, the expelled microplastics can be gathered for secondary processing, which includes shape modification, ultimately contributing to a reduction in the overall production of plastic products.

Selection of location in the location and recommended user groups

The site will be organized into three sections: one for first to seventh-time beginners, another for eight to fifteen-time intermediate participants, and a third for long-term participants with fifteen or more sessions. This division is in place because the expulsion of small apparatuses can be painful, involving the passage through the body's muscles and fat layers. Thus, participants at different experience levels will be given varying durations for the apparatus discharge. First-time participants will receive special attention from our staff.

Physical Sense

The design of the location includes doors on both sides of the building that will move up and down, causing the first floor to create undulating waves on the surface. These waves on the floor are intended to convey the sensation of floating to the participants, who are seated on water seats. This unique feature allows them to relax and lie flat on their backs, creating the illusion of floating in the sea while the ceremony unfolds
