Brewing Sprouts

Two things that enhance my everyday life are plants and coffee; my houseplants radiate energy and hope, where coffee allows me a few moments of bliss and comfort during the day. The process of coffeemaking and plant tending are relaxing to me, and I started to notice the similarities and connections in these two activities. I wanted to explore and combine the relationships between coffee and plants through design, stemming from structure, pattern, texture, feeling, and function and through these I hope to display the intricacies of the various relationships, metaphors, and beauty within and between plants and coffee.
