This project seeks to make natural pigments from the waste such as orange skin, beet, red cabbage, egg shells and charcoal, to be mixed and applied with lime plaster in earthen architecture restoration practices, accommodating contemporary cultural needs of rewriting identities with colors. Humans have used colors to personalize space, clothing, appearances and food while also serving as a crucial sensory tool for animals in both inter and intraspecies communication and to evaluate relevant resources.
