As a spatial designer, my aim is to create speculative spaces that provoke reflection on the intersections between food production, environmental sustainability and human health. The project was inspired by the accelerated pace of modern life. Fast food has become an indispensable part of our daily lives, providing convenience but also causing damage to health and the environment.

Symbolized by the shape of the stomach, the project designs a multi-layered experiential space that places people in a symbolic underworld. In this space, people's stomachs are modified by adding apparatus to cope with the fast-paced demands of the future.

Storyboard
People entering the space are like chlorides travelling through the body. People first pass through a soft, tubular slide. The slide is made of a soft, flexible material that mimics the folds of the stomach, creating an intuitive experience of participation. Once through the slide, the capsule begins to disintegrate and the apparatus is ‘activated’. People are encased in transparent bubbles that float with the current, and the apparatus is installed in their stomachs as they float. The capsule dissolves layer by layer, and the Apparatus slowly grows in the body, finding its place to mount as it floats.
In the spirit of reconciliation Monash University acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
