There are two components to the product: the plant ecosystem and a controller. After the seed is planted in the ecosystem, the individual removes the controller from the top of the ecosystem and carries it with him to externalize some of the anxiety or sadness associated with the loss. Thus, the controller acts as an interacting medium between what the person is feeling and the environment inside the ecosystem. The more a user ‘fidgets’ with the controller the more fog is disseminated in the environment and eventually when you’ve processed your emotions of the event and fidget less with the controller there is less fog surrounding the plant. Ultimately when you no longer need to fidget with the controller you can place it back on top of the box and see the plant that has grown inside.
