Master's project that was presented at the annual exhibition of the TASE' 23. As part of the opening of the Estonian Academy of Arts TASE '23 Alumni Festival on May 31, the Young Artist, Young Designer and Young Applied Artist awards for 2023 were presented. My work was recognized among the best works in the exhibition.
The goal of my master’s thesis is to develop a collection of accessories for adults of any gender based on the principle of upcycling, which would reuse the materials of the product destined to be thrown away, giving the product a second life in a new form. The purpose of this project is not the production of accessories, but research into how the material of the jacket can be optimally used, and what must be taken into account when creating a new product.
By reusing their own old products, Paul Berg as a brand makes an important contribution to Estonian design culture, thereby extending the life of the material, valuing the product, promoting environmental protection and influencing Estonian design ethics. With my knowledge and skills, I want to help them achieve this goal. From the first discarded jacket, I managed to create a hat, mittens and a mat bag. Thus, the goal of the master’s thesis was fulfilled.
Earlier, in 2022, the project was presented at the Pärnu NEW ART MUSEUM in the X Re-establishment Art Exhibition "Give New Life" "Säde".
Everything starts from a seed - a small idea, a train of thought, something that can grow into something unimaginable and entirely new. To be included in the exhibition, the works had to have been created using recycled materials or from leftovers.
