Designer
Chui Chih designed this plant-based breathing apparatus, inspired by
the idea that humanity will soon have to adapt to a crowded, urban world
with bad air quality. Her vision is showcased in some truly stunning
photos.
The
design/"survival kit" is part of the project Chiu Chih calls "voyage on
the planet." Inspired by the ideas of the world's constant state of
flux and humanity's uncertain future, the designer imagined one piece of
equipment future humans would have to create to survive. While the
design may not actually provide you with enough oxygen
in a truly oxygen-free environment, it's more about simplicity. And
the beautiful image of this single green plant, preserved in a case, and
carried through a world lacking others.

And here's a clean look at the apparatus made:
