Level of water at dead sea and mineral are dropping by 33% so it's important we spotlight it in a unique way.
To showcase and highlight Jordan and Deadsea in a contemporary way instead of the traditional or old ways of what the media showcase as well as raise awareness and highlights recession and environmental concerns where due to economical interests its resources are being abused so this futuristic creature has a role and came back to life (rebirth/ awakened from deep sleep) to protect the Dead sea from all that misusage.
The shores of the Dead Sea are the lowest point on the surface of the earth. It is such a unique corner of the world unlike any other place on earth(it's salty water is their renowned health and healing properties of the mud. You can also float naturally in them.).
Merging different technologies and methodologies like 3D printing, computational couture electronics, and crystallizations.
