Rebirth your clothing
In an age where clothes are composed of complex blends, dyes, and finishes, our textiles linger in landfills, hindering degradation and releasing toxins. Sakshi Jain urges us to question our linear approach to product life cycles. She sees an alternative vision for the future, where the life of our clothing is revitalized and extended through a ritual for rebirth. Begin by growing mycelium on your old clothes. This root-like structure from which fungi grows can break down synthetic fibres and artificial dyes. You'll be rewarded with beautiful mushrooms that grow from your garment when you complete the ritual. By reimagining our old and used clothes as living, breathing entities, we can deepen our connection and cultivate a sense of responsibility towards them.
