The focus of this project is to explore how products can carry cultural information instead of words and languages to help people communicate their cultural background and ultimately achieve the goal of communicating culture through products. 
The concept is to design a pair of incense holders inspired by traditional elder figures. An elderly Chinese man in a traditional raincoat and bamboo hat, sitting face to face with an elderly first nation man in a traditional patterned blanket, and the smoke of incense comes from their mouths as if they were sitting down for a small talk on a cold day. The elder images and the respect for the elder are the common ground in all cultures. I believe this concept will eventually be replicated in other cultures as a series that represents multi-cultural communication.
