Carrying Wellness
September 2007 - present

This project is a neckpiece and water vessel. The neckpiece is a receptacle that carries mesoporous iron oxide which can remove arsenic from water. The neckpiece contains a built in measuring device that allows the user to put the correct amount into their specially
designed water vessel and feel confi dent that the arsenic has been removed from their drinking water. The water vessel (not pictured) contains a built in filter for removing the particles before drinking. The vessel and neckpiece are designed for people in transit in areas where arsenic is prevalent in found water (India, Bangladesh, United States).
