Designing for Life Affirmation

Land

Denmark

In 2023, humanity crossed six of nine Planetary Boundaries fundamental to life on Earth. This project responds with Designing for Life Affirmation—a practice that moves beyond centering humans in decision-making to focus on the affirmation of life itself. Grounded in eight principles, it explores Kånken Breath: a living, breathing backpack. Through the photosynthetic microalgae printed on the hemp fabric, it is able to purify air as it moves through the world.
