This project views the year 2025 through the lens of 2125, exploring how food reflected and reinforced social divisions. Today in 2125, society is sharply divided: the upper class enjoys fresh greens from private cultivation zones, while the lower class survives on synthetic nutritional blends. This exhibition unearths food relics from 2025 like vegetable packaging, dinner plates, and canned goods. In 2025, freshness was a symbol of wealth. This obsession with freshness laid the foundation for the food divide we see today.

This project is inspired by the Golden Record, a metal disc launched on NASA’s Voyager spacecraft in 1977. It carries sounds and images from Earth, sent as a message to unknown life forms in space. The project tells its story from the perspective of the record, drifting like a message in a bottle through the silence of space. By revisiting this object, it reflects on the ongoing question: who are we?  What are the chosen fragments on record say about us?

This project is a set of three zines that document the lives of Chinese ethnic minority students studying in the UK. Their own cultural traditions blend with their experiences abroad, creating a unique story of identity and belonging. Traditional patterns from their communities appear throughout British cityscapes, weaving a new kind of visual language. This work explores cultural exchange and how young people navigate between heritage and new environments, using design to express who they are in a foreign land.
