Since prehistory, Man has used
packaging. Since the industrial revolution, the number of packaging has kept
growing in an exponential way. The more we consume the more negative the impact
on our environment is. In spite of the regulations, our packaging is always as
polluting. It is time to react and to ask ourselves the good questions to make
the best decisions and to change our bad habits. Man has the responsibility of
the planet and of the ecosystems where he lives. But he tends to forget what the
Earth gives us.
Only some so-called primitive cultures, still close to their
origins, live in total harmony with their Foster Mother. However, they are
disappearing as they are being absorbed by Western way of life.
What can we
learn or relearn from these cultures before they completely
disappear?
 With Pack', Tupac Mendoza
has focused on the time of shower, simply because it is when we are in a natural
state, naked under the falling water.
He has therefore
imagined a range of shower products, designed as hanging fruits we would come
and « pick », then squeeze to extract the gel.
Made of bioplastic,
each packaging refers to a “primitive” culture thanks to visual codes and
associated fragrances.
The Yanonamis from Brazil and Guarana, the African
Masais and shea, or the Papuans from New-Guinea and Niaouli: each product is a
tribute, a testimony of far-away peoples.
