Wake - Impermanence
Wake consists of a collection of unique handmade backpacks produced from salvaged materials. Based on the theme of scavenging & vultures, the project title derives from the term used to describe a group of vultures - a wake of vultures. Alongside, “wake” expresses the notion of becoming aware of - and in this case, becoming aware of our attitude towards waste and rethinking negative perspectives of “scavengers” through the storytelling of positive perceptions of vultures in various cultures.
'Impermanence' is an alternative design to 'Jhator'. An important aspect of Jhator is the Buddhist concept of the impermanent nature of life.
