Terra Firma is an installation and an invitation to re-examine our relationship with food and the environment. It is both a conversation starter and a call to action, challenging us to reconsider not only what and how we eat but also how the act of eating can become a meditative practice.

It is a sharing plate, a serving vessel, and a topographic surface that encourages mindful eating and fosters a stronger connection with the food we consume. Crafted from raw clay, carnauba wax, and biomass, its form invites interaction. Edible sprouts emerge from its surface, embodying the lifecycle of food and connecting the act of eating with the rhythms of growth and decay. This tactile and sensory experience encourages participants to eat with awareness, fostering a deeper appreciation of the food they consume.

The installation exists simultaneously as both finished and unfinished, constantly transforming through the touch and presence of those who engage with it. Guests are not mere observers but participants, contributing to its transformation and adding layers of meaning. In this way, Terra Firma becomes a collective work, a living installation shaped by shared experiences and the beauty of imperfection. Terra Firma reimagines consumption as an act of honouring—a sacred ritual asking us to see food not as a commodity but as life itself.
