The Brain Recycling Project

KIWEE X Master Tingus

In 2021, Kiwee discovered Master Tingus, a surreal animation artist from Australia, whose unique work sparked inspiration for a special collaboration. Drawn to the whimsical, thought-provoking nature of his art, Kiwee reached out to Tingus, and together, we crafted a bag that goes beyond function—it tells a story.

This collaboration explores life’s complexities, the quest for meaning, and the value of simply enjoying the creative process. Over a year and a half, the two teams developed the “Triangle Sling Bag for Master Tingus”, using recycled PET fabric as an ode to the idea of recycling, with each detail symbolizing the never-ending cycle of growth, learning, and transformation.

Inspired by the image of a brain tree, Tingus envisioned it as an independent entity, nurturing itself and recycling knowledge—much like how a tree turns into books, the ultimate brain food. This motif became the core visual on the sling bag, moving as you open and close the bag, embodying life’s endless cycles.

The Triangle Sling Bag is designed for today’s urban lifestyle—water-resistant, versatile, and ideal for biking, skating, and commuting. True to Tingus’s spirit, a hidden Easter egg awaits: a mini story tucked somewhere in the bag.
