(Un)limited Design Contest

Short Description:

Neil Armstrong turned and set his left boot on the surface at 2:56 UTC July 21, 1969.

He spoke the famous words:
 
“That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.”

In space you are physically far away from your roots, this has a major impact to the emotion of humans. Feeling lost, homesickness and a woolly feeling in your brain.
How could fashion make home feel closer, and protect you against an absurd environment?
 

Context

In 50 years the Moon Life Academy and ESA expect that bigger groups could live together on the moon. To make the moon and society ready for this big step there needs to happen a lot. Like how to link humanity and kindness to protection against an absurd and technical environment?
 
The European Space Agency (ESA) and the Moon Academy collaborated, to discover new concepts for living on the moon. Therefor they asked several designers and artists to create concepts and visions about how we, as society, could and would become ‘moon habitants’. Alicia Framis of the Moon Life Academy asked Marina to join the Moon Life team to explore design concepts in the field of fashion.
