began from BioMimicry aims to take processes and forms from nature human issues. Though my aspirations are physical me-chanical works (such as aerodynamics from birds and swimwear from sharkskin), I wanted to align the social aspect between ants and
humans, using physical structures as a symbol to dream of a hu- manity which strives to work together instead of working apart.
Individuality is not disregarded either, one ant can carry 100 times its weight, likewise to the strength and uniqueness
to humans, however when the nest comes together more can be accom- plished. Symbiosis comes from the greek, ‘living together’. Ants work together
with their biotic environment, dependent on each other’s survival, these co-op- erative and antagonistic interactions are reigning forces which have evolved over
generations within the ant nest. Key to their success they not only interact with their
own colony but also other insects, fungi, plants and more. Symbiosis through the ant society
and with ours in hopes to create a better future for man. Specifically fire ants which tend to live in frequently flooded environments, they have evolved an operation to survive these situations and escape
from floods by weaving themselves together, thus creating a floating raft like structure. Among these mound forms can be ladders, walls, chains, and rafts.This ant self-assemblage is not only a solid but also a
form of a liquid, a viscoelastic material. Predominantly observing the fabrication in which ants are capable
of, and in turn, reflecting these structures towards the making of
biomaterials. This work aims to illustrate consumerism and fast-fashion. As well
