Craft as Time Capsule

This project is the final documentation of Hsiao-Wen's thesis research on craft making as a preservation methodology in the current digital age.

Plastic

How long will plastics stay with the world in the future and how much influence will they have on the future generations of the earth? This is a question worth pondering.
