symbiosis of potato + apple
apples emit a lot of ethylene gas. it has the effect of speeding up the ripen process of fruits and vegetables kept together with apples. when combined with potatoes instead, apples prevent them from sprouting.
verticality of root vegetables (carrot, raddish, leek…etc.)
keeping roots in a vertical position allows the organism save energy and remain fresh for longer time. this shelf gives a place for them to stand easily, using sand. at the same time, sand helps to keep proper humidity.
humidity of fruit vegetables (zucchini, aubergine, pepper…etc.)
we tend to think zucchini, aubergine, cucumber, etc. as vegetables. but they are biologically fruits. this shelf gives them a space to be outside the fridge. also through the ritual to water them everyday, they will stay fresh.
song: apple of sodom
band: marilyn mansoni found the center of fruit is late,
it is the center of truth today,
cut the apple in two,
oh, I pray it isn’t true,
i’ve got something you can never eat.
i drained my heart and burn my soul,
i trained the core to stop my growth,
i pray to die in space,
to cover me in snow,
i’m dying, i hope you’re dying too
take this from me, (hate me, hate me)
1, 2, 3, he is a speed bump mannequin,
1, 2, 3, he can’t move just stand still
i’ve got something you can never eat
