Radish Vase by Cemal Okten
A self-initiated project which set out to explore the connection we have with the food we eat; with an aim to reduce wastefulness through awareness of the process and hardwork which goes into producing food. This project was based heavily on bringing the process of farming vegetables into the home, with the premise that experiencing vegetables growing gives the individual a greater appreciation of their food. The final product is a selection of vases which support the growth of vegetables.
