a RURAL
SEND-OFF

This project proposal for a ceiling installation seeks to intertwine sustainability, rustic charm, and a profound connection with its users through the simple use of natural materials. Inspired by the enduring allure of timber and wheat, the proposal aims to create a sensory experience that fosters a meaningful connection with its users by tapping into their sensory memories. The use of natural materials such as timber and wheat offers a multi-sensory experience that engages not only the eyes but also the nose and fingertips. The familiar smells, textures, and ambiance of these materials act as a bridge between the present moment and cherished memories of the past, igniting a sense of nostalgia and emotional resonance.

Timber, sourced from forests, provides warmth, texture, and visual interest, while wheat straw, a byproduct of agriculture, adds an earthy charm and eco-friendly sensibility. Together, these materials form the foundation of a ceiling installation that not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the space but also serves as a testament to our reverence for nature and ability to create unique systems out of natural materials.
