The Floating Emergency Purifier is a water filtering system made for areas that frequently flood, where having access to clean water becomes essential. It runs purely on buoyancy and gravity and doesn't use any electricity. The apparatus floats as floodwaters rise and starts filtering tainted water automatically through sand, zeolite, and activated carbon layers. To avoid overflow, an integrated floating valve system controls inflow and stops the water when it is full. Made of light transparent PVC, the purifier embodies simplicity, adaptability, and durability in emergency design by expanding during floods and folding flat when not in use.

This dust jacket reflects my view of design, which is the process of forming links between concepts, resources, and individuals. Form and detail capture the hands-on process that influences my work, where computer modeling and physical creation blend into one.
