Photoshop helped with getting the sense of the space and how it works.

Image 1: individual installation

Image 2: representation of how those hundred of tube feet on a seastar’s arm work ( The water forced in to their tube feet causes them to extend and push against the ground , the relaxing to allow the feet to retract)

Trying to make different forms by melting two sheets of accetate and moulding it while it's hot... Can my design be one single structure with many perforations with tunnels expanding out instead of individual structures (like a Seastar with hundreds of tube feet absorbing the water and using it to locomote and find food) !

Developed the form an design by making a foldable tunnel whichever do elongate only when there was pressure applied by human by jumping over the sponge.... This also meant that the human would enter the water and would be able to view the entire process of transporting food with the help of the water vascular system .. Next: still trying out different forms and layering different materials and also how I can bring back the lost mobility of my design in the baths

Sketch model_ initial concept was to just mimic the water vascular system of the Seastar and to make the humans understand their survival techniques ... The model insisted of three layers .. The sponge ( to absorb water like the water vascular system), the fish net ( to catch food like seaweed, mussels for my non human) , and a disk for the humans to occupy. This would move around the baths catch food and eventually sink down once the sponge was saturated and the human would swim Bach to the shore .. Next : I Wasn't too happy with the form. Secondly there wasn't much interaction between the human and the installation... Next step was designing something where the humans could actually see the process while it was happening and learn how the water vascular system worked .

Algae | Respiration Process Converting our Carbon Dioxide into a realiable chemical food course to grow algae.    Relation to Concept: Whilst humans bathe in the nutrients extracted and transpired from algae, abalones are provided a local food resource center to harvest and eat, we humans and our non-humans help to treat algae in healthy conditions through transfer of CO2 = resource exhange = sharing.

Design Process: The idea focuses on how the non-human client (Seastar) will teach the humans to survive in their environment using their survival techniques. "The water vascular system " _ its a hydraulic system used by Echinoderms for locomotion, food and waste transport. Using this concept where the designed pods with move in the baths in a choreographed way which will collect "food" in their cavity and eventually sink down. Offering food for the starfish to feast on !
