My concept is about making an alive bag. Our stomach, just like a bag, digests the food we eat and the toilet also digest the excretions we produce, all other wastes are digested by trash bags. I got inspiration from the forms of these three objects to create the metal structure of the bags. And I will use mechatronic device to push the elastic fabric on the surface of the bags to move outward and  inward, to look like the bag is digesting. I chose two kinds of fabrics for the surface of the bag. One is smooth and shiny elastic fabric. White colour just like the surface of a toilet stool, black colour looks like the surface of trash bag. The other fabric is textured knit like the texture of stomach. I made inner bag for putting stuff and at the same time avoid to disturb the smooth of the surface. Half of the bag is inner bag and the other half is for the mechatronic device and I leave the zip for that. So we can change the battery for the device or remove it.
