Solarpunk is an optimistic view of the future with a focus on sustainability and equity. It is a green, inviting place with people who aren't scared to innovate no matter the circumstance or what already exists. It emphasizes handcrafts and celebrates local businesses. The aesthetic - to me - has a lot of green and warm colors, takes inspiration from art nouveau, art deco and nature. 

The skirt is attached by macrame to the waist and has four legs that attach little shelves. There are hanging macrame plants hanging from the shelves on the inside so that you can grow a snack or a beautiful little plant everywhere you go. A solar punk future has a lot of green and there are trees and plants are everywhere. In the future it is possible that accessing food would become harder, this skirt would make it far easier to have healthy readily availabe It was created as an art piece and to promote harmony with nature.
