金纸 is a product that questions the relevance of rituals in our lives and places value on the preservation of traditional ritualistic practices in the future.

 

Today, the burning of offerings is a means of showing piety to our ancestors by providing them with wealth. However, this is an increasingly unsustainable practice as the current generations no longer hold the same belief and are largely unwilling to learn the rites.

 

Therefore, with 金纸, we seek to question if a simplified model of burning offerings that is new yet familiar, ephemeral and easy, would succeed in maintaining the relevance of rituals in people's lives today and beyond. It places focus on the act of burning and the intimacy of connection in that moment rather than the quantity of physical offerings being burnt.
