Competitions: Taiwan Region
The inspiration behind this design comes from the natural phenomenon of fault displacement caused by earthquakes. The irregular, uneven lines at the bag’s opening represent the shifting of tectonic plates and the dramatic tension created when the Earth’s crust fractures under pressure. This visual expression echoes the power of natural changes and symbolizes the unstable relationship between human society and the environment. The form conveys a sense of rupture and movement, drawing attention to the ongoing transformation of our planet. The design combines strong structural lines with delicate handcraftsmanship, emphasizing both the emotional warmth of handmade work and the conceptual depth of sustainable thinking. It aligns with the core values of slow fashion by integrating environmental awareness into its functionality. The detachable components allow for multiple uses, extending the product’s life cycle and reducing material waste. By merging the visual language of natural disasters with sustainable fashion principles, this piece reflects a thoughtful response to environmental issues. It aims to go beyond mere aesthetics and encourages a deeper conversation about design’s role in ecological responsibility and long-term change.
