Description:
In these challenging times, being at home creates the opportunity to actively centre oneself internally. For JJ Acuna, this opportunity has realised itself in the collecting of rocks and crystals from all over, amassing a robust selection of objects to be brought out and celebrated with his “Take-Away Shrine".
A play on the idea of “Take-Away” meals, this project creates the possibility of taking one’s collections anywhere when allowed to leave their homes, and still actively centre themselves - perhaps necessary to survive this new reality, where social distancing measures turn going out into a bizarrely solitary experience inside and out. The “Take-Away Shrine” allows users to celebrate objects collected, and provides an immediate platform on which they can display these objects and centre themselves with a moment's peace at home alone or on a socially-distanced hike.
