This set of salt and pepper shakers by Imontserratpb explores the connection between primitive societies and an uncertain future in which society could face its own extinction. In times of uncertainty and change, ancient civilizations placed their faith in primitive symbols and amulets, seeking in them a connection between the divine and the earthly, protection and knowledge, symbolizing the constant vigilance of the invisible.
In a scenario of contemporary societal collapse, the symbols that define our existence could fade away, giving way to a return to amulets and signs that resonate with our primitive nature. These pieces reflect the idea of this cycle: after our possible extinction, humanity will be forced to restart, collecting fragments of the past to reconfigure its future. What symbols will prevail when information overloads our existence and leads us to collapse? What will we choose to represent ourselves when the cycle begins again?
Made in marble, jade, obsidian and volcanic rock with a cork cap. Due to their organic nature, colors and textures may vary.
