Female Biophilia: Crossing Boundaries
Women’s bodies are considered sacred in society. Female sexual pleasure and fertility are the only issues that matter. If design could become the tool to empower women and their health care - Would women be ready to wear bacteria in their underwear to prevent vaginal infections? Future Flora is a harvesting kit designed for women that are taking control of their bodies as a new precious and intimate practice of (self-)care. By celebrating a Female Biophilia, Tomasello opens the possibility of wearing microorganisms in the future, embracing them as part of our natural well-being.
