After imagining the final scene, it was brought to life and transformed into a food deign using crackers, cheese and peppers
The Concept Thesis
It is a 3D printed food design called Circular Balanced.
The plate is designed to understand the relationship between humans, animals, and ecosystems as forests diminish. Unfortunately, humans are a major factor in the reduction of forests, leading to a decline in biodiversity.
Circular three-layered half-plates symbolize the ecological imbalance in the world. The top layer represents humans, the middle layer represents forests, and the bottom layer represents animals. As humans destroy forests, the loss of forests leads to the extinction of animal species. This cycle poses a serious threat to ecosystem balance.

Circular Balance: A 3D-Printed Culinary Reflection on Ecological Harmony
Experience a thought-provoking culinary creation that delves into the intricate relationships between humans, forests, and wildlife. “Circular Balance” is a meticulously crafted 3D-printed dessert comprising three concentric half-plates, each symbolizing a vital component of our ecosystem.
The top layer represents humanity, the middle embodies forests, and the bottom signifies animal life. This layered design poignantly illustrates the cascading effects of deforestation: as human activities diminish forested areas, the resulting habitat loss leads to a decline in animal species, disrupting the delicate balance of our environment. Through this edible art, the creator invites you to reflect on the impact of human actions on biodiversity and the urgent need to restore harmony within our natural world.
