Lakin Fain
Mr. Coffee
How have we strayed so far from our natural instincts to just consume resources with such ease that we don鈥檛 even register how it got to us, where it came from, how we feel consuming it or how much we appreciate the sustenance? Mindlessly consuming the artificial products and fortunes that are thrown at us everyday has fostered our consumerist culture. Mindful consuming is an eye-opening habit to form that fosters gratitude and satisfaction with the world around you.
If the coffee you hold in your hand had a face- perhaps it would hold more value to you. Perhaps you could empathize with its history- the labor it took to grow the beans, the fuel it took to ship to your home, and the nourishment it gives you. We humans mindlessly consume products, food, plastics daily. We often just see these things as a service to us- not as a product of labor, fuel, and design. By personifying basic things we consume daily, I hope to force some mindfulness into consumption. To realize the fortune to even have these things at all.
