Zidi Gong
The collection “Seeds Will Grow” delves into the growing rift between humans and their food sources amidst escalating industrialisation and the information era. Inspired by environmental ethics, the collection advocates for a biocentric view, asserting the intrinsic value of all life and promoting an egalitarian respect for all beings.
Zidi combines metals, biomaterials, and plant seeds using techniques such as metal weaving, folding and enamelling. Through these pieces, she aims to reignite the connection between humans and plant-based foods. Ultimately, Zidi sees her work as a means to inspire exploration into sustainable food futures, urging individuals to cultivate a symbiotic relationship with their food.
