In Roads and Red Threads, The Red Thread symbolizes a cathartic journey out west, inspiring product lines that rebel against the digital age and invite rest, patience, reverence, and connection. The nostalgia and joy experienced from drawing with a pen and paper, annotating our favorite books, sending postcards instead of texts, and capturing moments on film instead of phones qualify our pull to advance backwards. The road stills the bustle and noise from a hurried culture distracted by overconsumption––a gentle reminder that man cannot copy or compare to the massive grandeur of the landscape. Where technology trades quality time for convenience, this work suggests humanity's hardwired inclination toward deep and meaningful relationships. Ultimately, the work encourages a future rooted in face-to-face connection, tactility, and unhurried exploration.
