In modern cities, pigeons are often regarded as a nuisance, and their droppings are seen as a form of urban filth that people go out of their way to avoid. This project proposes a novel, inclusive perspective that redefines pigeon droppings as indicators of humidity in the urban environment. As a biological material scattered on street corners, pigeon droppings engage in a continuous physical interaction with the moisture in the air in ways that remain unseen to us.

Building on this premise, I have designed an elaborate ‘pigeon toilet’—a mobile device for monitoring air humidity. Through this striking installation, I hope to alleviate people’s discomfort with pigeon droppings and encourage a closer look. Ultimately, I want viewers to realise that these droppings are a useful environmental indicator, rather than simply disgusting waste.
