This week, during studio time, I did more research on my project topic. Because I am researching about agriculture’s water usage and impact on our daily lives, I wanted to inform users about the context surrounding certain foods. This class, I focused my research on the almond industry. It was interesting to learn more about almonds because I love eating almonds but I did not know much about their impact, history, or production.

Week 10 of class everyone presented their final projects to the class while also receiving further feedback. My final project had transformed from my initial idea of creating a mushroom book that would act as codex for different kinds of mushrooms while having 2 kinds of illustrations with a page of information about said mushroom. So after that, my final project became somewhat the same idea but transforming them into collectible cards.

Stinging Nettle is an interesting object we touched on. I always encounter them but due to my lack of knowledge of it, I never really look into what this magical plant is and made use out it. After a little research, I learned that Stinging Nettle has Vitamin A, B, C, and K, minerals, fats, amino acids, polyphenols, and pigments.

        In recent years, there has been an increasing number of scientists who recognize synthetic fiber as a significant source of pollution on a global scale, endangering our ecosystem through its circulation. During the laundry process, an extensive amount of microfiber would be washed off from the clothing, which is largely constitutive of synthetic fiber. Once the microfiber gets into the sewer, it would likely to be carried by the flow into the ocean, causing a great threat to our marine ecosystem.
