Precedents

 Our project was inspired by planting methods that are generally associated with zen meditation, such as bonsai and terrarium. One particular project we were interested in was Project Oasis, created by Harpreet Sareen partnered with Google. It is a hybrid terrarium whereby the user can control the condition inside the container by Google assistant. We wanted the same hybrid process, but wanted to attach the process of ‘letting go’, for the user to associate the process with peace and mindfulness rather than with pain and despair.
