Ideation
Inspiration
Transitional State rebirth and death
With explorations on Midjourney & DALL E to train the initial concept of future organisms, and how it might looks like on human body as a whole. I input different prompts to experiment, with different approach. I had a series of wearable organisms forms with various natural texture. Also some of the futuristic marine organisms with abstract forms. With these visual experiment, I be able to brainstorming on the design concept, sketches out the organisms, creating visual style.

Design Sketches
These four different future "wearable creatures" will grow on four different parts of the body: shoulders/arms, chest/shoulders, face/head, and hands. Each of these creatures can provide special effects to the body and enhance its functions.

Baby Organisms Ring
These baby "wearable organisms" will be the seedlings of the "wearable organisms" that will be grown in the Org Center. When they reach adulthood, they will be different kinds of "wearable organisms". Each of them is unique. Every human can come to adopt their own Baby "wearable organisms", choose the one you like to wear. Wear it and nurture it to grow.
