I started with a moss-green metallic mixture for this plastic bottle. Initially, I was going with a purple color scheme for the roots, but I didn’t like it, so I switched to this warm, earthy orange that changes into green.
I added a tiny weevil on top, because someone needs to inhabit this new environment.
Despite tap water being drinkable in many countries, people still choose to buy bottled water, and consumption increases by 5% every year. Currently, 1 million liters of bottled water are consumed worldwide every minute.
