Too wet to chat much about her ideas/thesis, perhaps another time meanwhile below some words from her Press Pitch, and the links Samia sent me.... 

"Cotton is a fabric that we wear and see around us" says Samia. "These days cotton is more disposable than ever before. We can go to shops buy as many cotton garments we want, without facing hardship unlike people who make it".
