The capsule focuses on modern nomads who arrive in unknown territories with only bags full of hope. It addresses feelings of exile and nostalgia, common to uprooted people displaced from their homelands. Inspired by legends from Taiwanese tribes and her fieldwork experience in train stations, the designer explores the practices of those with “floating roots”. She questions the function of backpacks as a source of strength, security and intimacy towards body as well as the current journey.
