Other:Wise is a passion project, combining my love for the ocean and with my love for design. It takes a critical approach to today’s human-centric mindset within design, and beyond. The core belief of the project is that if we know more about the world around us, we will care more for it and take action to protect it.
By capturing the beauty of the natural world I want to remind people how humans and nature are connected. In an anthropocentric world I want to inspire creative solutions that solve problems beyond humanity. Why should you care about the function of a plankton, or the life of a squid? Because if they thrive, we thrive. That’s what ‘other-wisely’ thinking is all about.
This curated exhibition is a result of research into the emerging field of more-than-human thinking, one which applies to design as well as beyond. Its a proposing a change of mindset- One which acts wisely towards all others
