I decided to focus on the light/dark problem, researching various smart textiles and designers/artists. At first I started playing around with glow in the dark paint, but at some point I came a cross a fashion designer, Ying Gao, who had created a light responsive, moving dress. I was really inspired by this, and wanted to look in to it further. I started imagining our clothes resembling a flower, in terms of being closed at night and open in the daytime. You would have details in the clothing that unfold and become visible in daylight. I don't really know how I can make a connection between this idea and pollution yet though...   

I had a go at creating a simple white top that would start to grow and change, and continue to do so for the rest of the day, once you step outside in the morning.
