Overview
Preparing a Precarious Feast presents a possible future shaped by the climate crisis, centered around the idea of ‘precariousness’. I have chosen to address complex environmental and social issues by re-imagining domestic rituals, specifically cooking- in a future marked by resource scarcity and instability.
My work investigates how the notion of home and everyday habits might evolve under the strain of ecological disruption. Taking into consideration the emotional and psychological dimensions of these shifts, I have created an entire narrative to explore how the rhythms and meanings of everyday life may change. This modular, human-powered kitchen, designed mainly using scrap and found materials, acts to spark dialogue about the expected shift in our habits, urging viewers to confront the fragility of the systems we rely on- and the role which design can play in navigating uncertainty.
