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?
