This interactive piece links soil health to human health, showing how biodiverse soils boost resilience — a benefit severely diminishing with urbanisation and excessive disinfection. For children especially, contact with healthy soil helps to prevent future problems such as chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
It challenges modern perceptions of sterility and offers a glimpse into the complex ecosystems that sustain us. It further seeks to criticise the capitalist notion of using quick fixes over systemic changes.

The glass container is filled with healthy soil, which, when the pedal at the bottom of the station is pushed down, opens up and disposes a bit of soil into the user's hand. The user then rubs it all over their hand, like they would a disinfectant - adding healthy soil bacteria to help their immune system and gut microbiome instead of killing all bacteria, good and bad, as a disinfectant would.

The Soil Sprinkles are a speculative food-topping, playfully interacting with studies and practices around soil ingestion and its impact on our health.

The work was displayed at the Lethaby Gallery in London for the exhibition Soil, Toil & Table (October 2024 - January 2025)
