+- few ideas for my on-going project:

+    > recycle trash into pots for plants + take kitchen scrapes/ herbs/ seeds for regrowing itself.
+    > turn natural ressources into colours/ paint. for example thumeric = yellow
+    > I could also combine these ideas into one big project: selfmade coloured basket = pot for the regrowing
+         plant.
+    > find a new usage for trash

+- My understanding of sustainable aesthetics:
+In my opinion the words have two different meanings, which can collide into one understanding.
+Sustainability can be seen as taking eco-friendly ressources and giving it life and therefore great purposes. For example recycling/ upcycling. By using what is already there, we get to make materials or objects more long lasting, without creating new waste.
+The aesthetics is what makes the sustainable into some kind of art form. Giving it new life, new meanings and perspectives. Since aesthetic is subjective, the creator has freedom in its expressions and can chose how the art work is presented. Making it a sustainable aesthetic.
