Hundreds of sails are discarded in Hong Kong every year, ending up in landfills. These sails are made of synthetic fibers and are very difficult to recycle. Upgrading and remanufacturing Hong Kong sails transforms them into durable and meaningful products. Each piece is hand-sewn by rehabilitation members, with every stitch showcasing their effort and value. Each creation not only carries a journey but also serves as a bridge for an inclusive society between people with disabilities and the general public.
