Photosynthesis machine & Algae-ikat textiles

GROWN BLUR is a collection of algae-Ikat textile which inspired by Ikat weaving process and try to provide a solution to fashion dyeing pollution. Ikat is known for its unique way of crafting dyeing before weaving, blurred vision and extremely high artistry, and is a valuable cultural heritage. The project aims to create a collection of textiles by combining the dyeing of micro-algae by cultivating them directly on the fibers with the traditional weaving technique. The design process of the patterns draws on the principle of photosynthesis, allowing the algae to generate patterns directly on the fibers, making the process an eco-friendly way of producing textiles that encompasses both organic microorganisms and craft heritage.
