Reflection
What makes us special and unique today is because of our culture and beliefs, and the willingness to accept and progress with society. This project combines stories and narratives into design output while maintaining identity and style.
Through study tours in Melbourne, including visits to Fitzroy, the Koorie Heritage Trust, and Melbourne Museum. The project evolved to incorporate three new constellation designs inspired by Aboriginal culture.
I employed sensory mapping techniques during unguided and guided tours of Fitzroy, using sound as a primary navigation tool. Documentation through photography and zine-making practices captured the authentic experience of place-discovery. The integration of Aboriginal symbols and cultural narratives demonstrates respectful acknowledgment of Indigenous knowledge systems.
This project represents a unique fusion of personal narrative, cultural respect, and speculative design. I wanted to show how contemporary design can honour Indigenous wisdom while imagining future possibilities, creating a meaningful dialogue between past knowledge and future innovation.
