Car Part Toothbrushes

BRIEF

Create a utopia and an artifact that exists in that utopia.

SUMMARY

My thesis teammate Nathalie Collins and I have been working on a thesis project related to the future of ridesharing and so have spent a lot of time thinking about transportation. In the utopia that we created, places are constantly shifting in a way that makes current forms of transportation obsolete.

Because we were envisioning a world where cars become obsolete very quickly, their parts need to be repurposed. I was interested in stretching the limits of what we think about as "acceptable" repurposing, so we created a set of toothbrushes made from old car parts. Below is a set of three brushes and a toothbrush holder.
