Inspiration
This project took inspiration from a distant memory of my grandfather getting defensive after repeatedly being advised to stop smoking, and now my own struggles with quitting.
I want create an ashtray that expresses the givers' desire for the receiver to have a healthy life and acts as a continual reminder that serenity and tranquility are achievable with a little patience.
THE PACKAGE INCLUDES
The ashtray was modeled in Blender and printed with PLA White 3D Printer Filament. The "Endure" vanishes with each cigarette lighted, reminding the recipient of the effects of their behavior. Bringing practicality, hope, and warmth into the simple phrase: I really think you should quit smoking.
Aiming to simulate nature revisiting an object that is initially made to contain lifeless ashes, the receiver is greeted with a booklet insert printed, bounded, and assembled with artificial plant parts.
The booklet insert conveys the givers' wish for the recipient to lead a healthy life and a constant reminder that with a little patience, serenity, and tranquility can be achieved.
