“Emotional attachment to, or adoration of, the night sky.”
Appreciation of the night sky is declining because of society’s attachment to technology. The sky stories we told each other in ages past are becoming increasingly lost to the superficial light we now immerse ourselves in. Noctcaelador imagines flying over the desert under the night sky on a carpet of indigenous plants, looking up at the constellations of stars and down at landscape (see our real-life magic carpet).
As is always our desire, we have contrasted this with the problems that plants have when they are grown in a place immersed in light pollution.
Concept Design
As our design journey continues we introduce the image of the Arabian night tales; scarves blowing in the breeze, horse-back travels across the desert and Arabian tile tessellation. In combining these elements, we have created four print designs.
