Quick rifle through some of the TransNatural works and came across Contemporary Vanitas, a project suggesting the material use of dead humans to create the products around us: like anything in nature, we cannot fight our mortality and eventual deterioration, and should not expect the same from our things.
The interesting part is that I've been wondering whether they was a way to manipulate hair strands into a type of material that you could actually make things with for a while now, and lo behold here it is: "Mixed with glycerine and sodium sulphite, the hair melts into a type of bioplastic resembling leather."
Not sure if I love the look of the actual product, but there's something about the diagrams that are great, especially the one outlining which elements humans are regularly secreting.
