Costa Rica - Part 3

After working with the students of Earth as a part of Earth's annual celebration we met with them to discuss our work and get feedback. Initially stunted by language barriers the conversation about our materials quickly took off until the whole room was buzzing with talk. As materials got passed around and comments translated into spanish then english and back again there was a palpable energy in the room. We were excited to see other students engaged in the material studies we had been doing and they were excited to see the organic material they study transformed in such vast and varied ways. The impromptu discussion of our work with the students of Earth was exciting in that we gained more perspectives on potential uses for our samples from students of agriculture. But beyond the feedback it was energizing to see other students inspired by our work and it has brought a new level of energy and commitment to our studio. I look forward to fostering the connects we made with the students at Earth and potentially collaborating on future projects.
