Meadow Witch
Meadow Witch pays homage to natural healing and the ancestral wisdom of herbal lore and birthing traditions. This wearable, kinetic garment gracefully intertwines the fragile yet resilient beauty of endangered meadows with the feminine form. It celebrates the nurturing qualities of meadows and the intrinsic connections between the body, nature, and fertility. By personifying these ecosystems, the work cultivates conservation and collective action toward a sustainable and equitable future.
Using sustainable textiles and biodegradable materials, Meadow Witch adopts an eco-friendly and body-positive approach. Embedded within the fabric are flexible electronic components that respond to environmental stimuli and human interaction. These interactions allow participants to gain a tangible understanding of the fragility of meadows and the healing power of herbs. The interactive experience encourages reflection on personal connections to nature, the environment, and the feminine aspects of humanity, inspiring engagement in conservation and advocacy for environmental and gender equality.
