PETALS AND PALETTES

Our project, “Petals and Palettes", delves into Ojai, California's agricultural landscapes, drawing inspiration from Albert Hoffman's graphic techniques to cultivate a unique visual language. Various notations, inspired by pixel farming and zone overlap, signify potential planting spots and the cohabitation of varying plant species. 

The project distills pixel farming methods into speculative drawings and models, bridging the gap between abstract concepts and practical farming experiences. These abstract representations would come to life to facilitate the production of organic cosmetics are made from a diverse array of "natural" elements and interwoven with “constructed” elements. This transformation results in a layered blend of aesthetics, architecture, and agriculture, providing an integrated experience between the visitor and Ojai's farming practices
