The foundation of trade is the idea that once something is taken out of its original context and placed in an environment where the object is more scarce, it acquires a higher value. This simple idea has been utilised in many different areas from creative work to information technology where methods of re-contextualisation and dispersion of an idea forms a critical element of the system. Transit Scarves are made in Italy using Chinese silk, the two ends of the Silk Road. Each scarf is both a fashion accessory as well as a depiction of an often overseen yet crucial component(packaging) of the logistics that our modern life relies on.
