This Project was created in college as a response to the topic of biodesign within the framework of critical design under mentorship of Sanja Bencetić and Nina Bačun
Devastation
One of the most important concepts of this project is certainly devastation. The damage that man does to nature every day in order to bring himself to material gain is enormous. A large number of end users are not even aware of how individual organisms and everything around them are damaged, so that they can have their luxury meal.
"Lithophaga” are considered exceptional delicacy, but their catch forbidden in its entirety coastal territory of Croatia. Finger fishing, with the necessary breaking rocks , leads to complete destruction of entire submarine habitats for the restoration of which are sometimes needed and decades.
By breaking the rocks, shells are reached, and the end user is introduced to the
process through cutlery.
process through cutlery.
Cutlery combines a fork, knife and construction tools with pliers and hammers that are often used in poaching itself.
The plate itself, inside which the buzara is located, resembles a rock that needs to be devastated in order to be able to eat a meal.
The plate is made of terracotta and covered with white glaze, which roughly shows the age of the system in which the shell live.
After the process of destruction, the plate itself can no longer be restored to its
original state, it is irreversibly destroyed.
original state, it is irreversibly destroyed.
The devastation reveals the fragility and characteristic red color of terracotta, which symbolizes the pain and suffering of organisms that suffer in the process of removing the shells.
