Challenge
How can color symbolize our connection to nature and human identity?
Approach
Brown, symbolizing soil and humility, reinterprets the human figure, connecting us to the earth’s cycle of growth, decay, and return.
Impact
The project redefined brown as more than a color, making it a symbol of impermanence and our inevitable return to nature.
Takeaway
We are not separate from nature; we are nature. This project reconnects us to the earth, using color as a medium.
