Human exploration of the universe and its reactions to the environment constitute my main source of inspiration and study. I have always aspired to explore transplanetary habitats and ultimately share glimpses of pre-existing knowledge. Addressing a space-based challenge could also lead to novel biomaterials that will ultimately benefit the earth's environment.

My practice is constantly driven by ideas intended to create an ecological closed-loop for the future. Therefore I pose the question: How should we protect astronauts' physical and emotional health in the face of future interstellar flights? How to make sustainable biomaterials more suitable for space exploration?

Each generated concept is designed to ensure the resources brought into astronautics are fully utilized. Pushing the boundaries of biomaterials in collaboration with the Imperial College London Biological Laboratory. My work inspires the viewer to reflect on how to create a sustainable design on-Earth in the present and more beneficially for future generations.
