The concept:
Regeneration Capsule is about passing on green ideas and wishes for the next generations that will literally be planted in the piece, and eventually grow in the interior; while the exterior represents a deteriorating cityscape. By utilizing locally hand made paper embedded with seeds, the public will be invited to write their ideas or wishes for the next generation and slide them through the plexiglass and into the refrigerator creating a “time capsule” for the future that will germinate with time. However, the outside evokes a different sentiment. The piece showcases a beautiful environment being created within while it is surrounded by decay and corrosion, but at the end of this showing, the city landscape is overgrown with vegetation from within.
