OBJECTIFYING URINE BAG
“How does one reach full acceptance when their physical everyday environment do not accommodate for differences”
In this project, I have chosen to objectify the urine bag. To objectify means to 'imbue immense attention and meaning, transforming ordinary products into emotional objects'.
Upon looking deeper into how users live with a urine bag, I realised that the integration of urine bags into one’s environment is often overlooked and disconnected. Urine bags often appear to be an exposed and unresolved fit into surroundings.
Hence, to amplify the physically invasive nature of the bag, a furniture piece was designed to objectify the struggle of physical acceptance. For this product, privacy was re-established by giving users the choice to switch between revealing and concealing of the bag through the simple 360º rotation of the table top.
