Final Project
Nature’s Remedy
This wellness interiors project looks at nature and the calming effect plants can have on a human. Surroundings can affect one’s mood and mindset, as plants release a micro-substance called Phytoncides. Scientifically proven, when humans spend time immersed in nature, our bodies absorb these micro-substances which reacts with our hormones and reduces the concentration of the stress hormone, Cortisol. I have explored why the surroundings of greenery, plants and natural landscapes can have a harmonious effect.

Colour Exploration
Creating the correct colours was essential for my project. I spent a long time exploring and testing my colours in the print studio.
I tested my colour palette on many different fabrics, in Pigment and VAT pastes.
