Normally in the form of a shoulder bag, this piece can be unpacked to form a
tent like structure made from suit bags, creating a portable personal space,
dwelling capsule, as a means to escape from the over crowded metropolitan life. It serves as a protective enclosure which separates us both

Allowing the individual to ‘time-out’ from the stresses of the social world,
for self-reflection and thought. It usually takes the form of a shoulder bag
because people pursue convenience. The shoulder bag corresponds to this
always on the go attitude. It is in the shape of a tent because it represents
a home, a safe refuge/shelter where they can retreat to. The colour red
symbolises the heart and it is also used to indicate ‘Stop’ from everyday
life. |
