My wonderland departs from a mythical story and lands in a synthetic world. Turning the Easter bunnies’ story into a selling point, the rabbits collaborate with cocoa farmers, and the cocoa woodlands become the site of the underground chocolate factories.
Regarding the monoculture and deforestation issues in the cocoa plantation in Southeast Asia, the current installation aims to mix the commercial cute symbols of rabbits with a rebellious attitude. Easter rabbit as a cultural symbol synonyms chocolate egg.

Model Storytelling: https://youtu.be/1n5-c60BzEM
My proposal involves designing a chocolate factory on a cocoa plantation in Java, Indonesia. The factory will serve as both a production facility and a public space for social interaction, acting as a mediator between the company and smallholder conflicts. Additionally, it will serve as a playground for local children and families.
This was the entry and office site of the Bumiloka Swakarya Plantation. However, the company lost the permit in 2020 and the entire 1600 hectares cocoa plantation has been given back to the local residents.
One of the main reason that locals against big plantations is because they want their own land to plant. The dense cocoa trees (only 2m interval) did not allow farmers to intercrop. A lot of the cocoa has changed to cassava gardens.
