Clothes to live in

Chiemi Kagiwada
A world in which humans have come to wear plant clothing.

The current trend is plant first. The trains are not weakly air-conditioned, but weakly misted. You can see green fuji trees from the windows of the train.

If you walk in the city, mist and soft wind for plants is sprayed from everywhere,

Streetlamps stored in sunlight have become plant-growing lights. The streets are full of greenery, with people wearing plant clothes passing by.

 

This is a world created by humans for humans.

Humans think they are in charge of this world,

But what if the creation of this world itself is the intention of the natural world?

 

What is the relationship between plants and humans?

What does this world exist for?

 

Plants that have become clothing grow by being cared for by humans.

They are likely to cover even the man-made artifacts made by humans.

Plants take root in convenient places, and when humans wear these clothes and move, the seeds fly, their bodies are torn off, and they live even in the places where they fly.+
