Haikeus 2.0 is a collaborative project that emerged within two days, exploring techniques such as 3D printing, wearable technology, felting, biomaterials, and costume design. Inspired by Ecological Grief and Eco-anxiety, Haikeus was conceived to reconnect us with nature.

While the wings, which envelop the wearer, symbolize disconnection from nature, the dress incorporates a circuit board that triggers vibration when exposed to light, akin to a comforting embrace from Mother Nature, reminding us not to neglect her presence.

The hues and patterns in the wings are influenced by the colors and shapes in Wadi Rum. The openings in the 3D printed piece were filled with biomaterials, containing okra seeds that can be planted when their time is up to complete nature's cycle and bring new life into the world
