Currency investigates the intangible value of preservation while proposing alternative systems of exchange and ownership through the idea of localized commodities.

This collection visits energy cultivation from the aspect of contemporary urban life. Modern city dwellers often live in leased spaces which deters the installation of renewable systems into the infrastructure of the building. Currency is a working prototype of a freestanding off-the-grid system that can be relocated, allowing for an alternative energy market that reinforces values of ownership and conservation.
