Cocoon
Date: 2006
Metamorphosis is the biological process silkworms undertake in order to become the butterfly, its medium is the cocoon. The initial experiments explore with the layering of the cocoon shells and the organism within to create the sensation of ‘hatching’ and breaking free. The final result is a non-uniform helical body made up by cell members inserted between two surface elements, its structural properties corresponds to the digital Finite Element Analysis.
