In displaying my project consisting of nature-industry duet, I aimed to identify the final creation by unifying such elements. Witnessing every function aspect in nature, I recently came across a documentary picturing habits and patterns of pachyderms in central Africa.
It seemed to me that the shades of proboscis use can help understand the social relationships between these individuals. I conveyed this meaning to the design industry. The trunk is frequently used as a drinking and washing medium, and it also functions as a communicative medium with humankind.
Learning all these facts, I transmitted the trunk as a useful part of everyday life. I designed a faucet that would resemble the similarities and functionality of a log; its fangs are turned into handles to regulate hot and cold water.
