The Cycle of Life Calender 2019 in cooperation with abcdruck (ad)
On each of the 12 calendar pages I have visualised a seasonal recipe in the form of a collage. This collage serves as a note, mood board or inspiration, as a basis for the later recipe.
The collages and the resulting recipes show the parallels between the seasons and the different stages of a human life.

The Collages
This project mixes both analogue and digital worlds. The printed calendar was printed with the collaboration of abcdruck, metzgerdruck, abcpremium and abcmedien. “The concept mirrors the idea of a classic ‘advent calendar’ that tantalizes your palate each month.” says Natalie Rothermel. “In addition to the visual hints, each collage also captures two printed scents of the main ingredients of the recipe in order to enhance the sensorial experience.”
