A Piece From Home
2017
Being an astronaut involves not only leaving planet earth for long time periods, but being far from home and your loved ones. Although nowadays technologies make it easy to communicate with earth, the separation through time and space makes it difficult to create tangible connections between individuals. In this project a simple cup of coffee creates a presence at another place, sharing these small pleasures and moments over distance. A compass, that usually shows home, starts turning on the other side, indicating that this cup is meant to be drunk in company.
