Postnatural Gardens
Postnatural Gardens is a clothing line that uses human metabolic waste, including sanitized urine, sweat, and hair, to grow plants. This collection creates a symbiotic relationship between humans and other-than-humans. The plants serve as thermal insulation and can be eaten and shared with others. Postnatural Gardens promotes self-consumption, saves irrigation water, and improves soil health.
These living garments foster a thriving ecosystem, challenging the separation between humans and
the environment. They encourage community harvesting and offer speculative solutions for imagining new ways of coexisting on a damaged planet.
