Bio Plastic Color Library

Bio Plastic Color Library is an ongoing series of naturally dyed biotextiles compiled into a reference booklet. Initiated in 2023, the project explores gelatin-based bioplastics colored with natural pigments extracted from materials such as cochineal, eucalyptus, and spirulina.

This work evolves alongside my ongoing research into natural dyes and plant-based material practices in regions around the world, deepening the connection between color, ecology, and sustainable design.
