Inspired by weaved birch bags in the area of Estonia and combining them with the leftovers of marine saving equipment - used straps. Even after hard use this material still has good quality as strong one, dries fast, is mainly bendable and eye-catching character. Braided footwear from thin straps is already seen and common, I was testing the technique out with a more demanding size - wide straps. I believe there is a possibility to give another life to the used straps for more years after they have done their job at the sea.
Bio What if
tomorrow we had to create
everything
out of nothing?
Are we already
there,
or is there still
some time?
How long can one
build up
from what has already been
used up?
Is the beauty in the
eyes of the
observer
and functionality in the
muscle memory of the
user?
In the race of despair
towards eternal youth
will mankind be ever ready
to value and truly savour
aging,
imperfection,
and
change?
