‘Reborn as Mycelium’ is a living physical project that explores the symbiotic relationship between humans and fungi.
The project delves into the concept of rebirth, the idea that you give your body to the Earth to encourage mycelium to grow, in turn, the mycelium decomposing your body can help us create a better future. The model also parallels Jesus sacrificing himself to the cross for a better future the same way we sacrifice our bodies to mycelium for a better future.
