BIOME strives to spread awareness on the impact that fast fashion has on our environment and what we can all do to become part of a solution. This traveling exhibit is placed along high traffic areas to attract high volume attention to the matter at hand.
Fashion Runway
Transition
Visitors enter a reality runway, where rows of tanks are lined up. A single t-shirt floats inside of each 900 gallon tank of water, the amount of water it takes to make one t-shirt. T-shirts read facts about water consumption and waste. "How many shirts are in your closet?" "... in your city" "... in the world."
Fog screen projections portray crop dusters. Projections display information about the effects that cotton has on our biosphere.

Sketch Model
A moving walkway in the opposite direction of walking direction signifies strenuous effort with little reward. A series of silhouettes curated from discarded articles of clothing are displayed along the labor portion of the exhibit.
Entrance to Labor Walkway
Discarded Clothing Silhouette Art
Visitors are "shipped" inside of a shipping container which simulates the journey that a shirt takes before finally arriving to the consumer. Images are projected through an open section of the container, both onto projection wall and onto the exposed floor in front of the screen. Information is displayed through each of the traveling phases.
Sketch Ideation
Good On You App is presented at the end of the exhibit, providing a solution to the impact that our purchases have on our environment. Good On You states "Together we can have a real impact with the one powerful weapon we all have in common... The ability to choose. Choosing and rewarding responsible fashion brands that do good, over the ones that don't, can drive the whole industry to become more sustainable and fair."
