title = "FloraWear: Crafting Living Wearables with Sustainable Materials",
abstract = "FloraWear is a wearable living interface where people can experience close relationships with plants by caring for and wearing them. While plants can have positive effects on both mental and physical well-being, we are increasingly losing our connection to plants due to industrialization and urbanization. To build a stronger relationship with plants, we present FloraWear–a DIY, wearable living interface that facilitates an intimate connection with plants. We discuss how the design of this living interface evolved through an iterative process based on feedback from users. By interacting with FloraWear, people can practice cohabitation with plants and experience becoming a more-than-human assemblage.",
