Opaque to Transparent
Exploring biomimicry in textile material design.
This project takes inspiration from the skeleton flower (Diphylleia grayi), known for its remarkable ability to shift from opaque white to transparent when exposed to moisture. By emulating the flower’s unique structure and moisture- reactive properties, the goal is to develop textiles that change colour or transparency based on environmental conditions. Opaque to Transparent explores adaptive fabrics that respond to humidity, offering potential applications in smart apparel, outdoor gear, and medical textiles. These dynamic, responsive designs are ideal for both everyday use and specialised performance needs.
