When I was 12 years old, I spoke Spanish, French, German and English, and at 23 I did my best to learn some Irish sign language. From a very young age, we moved around, growing up in Switzerland, France, Germany and today I live in Ireland. I was born in Panama where I lived for about 9 years altogether. How does the collection connect with my story?
Every single person is part of the same community, namely humankind. “MicroCosm” conveys the idea that we are a representation of a larger group. Together in the collection, "flavour" is used as an analogy to express how people are like delicious recipes with distinct and unique flavour combinations.
Flavour: “the distinctive taste of a food or drink” or "an indication of the essential character of something.". MicroCosm: “a community, place, or situation regarded as encapsulating in miniature the characteristics of something much larger”. The collection showcases how complex an identity can be, particularly but not exclusively for people with a mixed background and strives to blur the lines of geographical nationality which often forces an identity upon people. Aim: Create a sense of belonging by celebrating diversity, uniqueness and authenticity through art. However, the use of DMM enables specific modifications to be made to nutrient conditions during large-scale culture in our 'artificial mouth' biofilm system.MicroCosm Flavours is a limited collection of art pieces and goods found exclusively at Tania Rosas Designs. It was concluded that realistic growth rates and patterns are generated in microcosm plaque biofilms by supplying both DMM and BMM. Variation in enzyme profiles between BMM- and DMM-grown plaque, measured using the API-ZYM technique, provided evidence of nutritional effects on plaque composition. Their doubling-time patterns over a 20-day period were similar, except that the DMM-grown plaques showed biphasic growth patterns that were more pronounced than with BMM. In earlier studies, BMM-grown plaques were similar to natural plaques in structure, composition, growth rate and pH response to substrates. To model the nutrient functions of salivary proteins, amino acids equivalent to 5 g/l casein were also included in DMM. DMM contains various ions, mucin, amino acids, vitamins and growth factors at concentrations generally similar to those in saliva, whereas BMM contains yeast extract, peptones and mucin. The aim here was to examine whether a new, chemically defined analogue of saliva (defined medium mucin, DMM) could substitute for a previously used, chemically undefined medium (basal medium mucin, BMM) as an analogue of saliva for large-scale biofilm culturing. /cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/49292199/shutterstock_147918749.0.0.jpg "define microcosm")
salivary bacteria where a whole-saliva donor has abstained from oral hygiene for 24 h to increase the plaque bacteria in the saliva). It is obtained as microcosm biofilms in an 'artificial mouth' plaque culture system by culturing the bacteria in natural plaque-enriched saliva (i.e. Microcosm plaque is an in vitro version of natural plaque and has been explored as a microflora model because it is sited a more manipulable and controllable environment. The growth and pathogenic properties of dental plaque result from interactions between the microbiota and the oral environment and have been studied in laboratory experimental systems ranging from single or a few species (such as in chemostats) to dental plaque microcosms.
