NGEI translates to ‘later in the future’ in Nengone, the language from Maré, New Caledonia. NGEI is a cultural project paying tribute to the Pacific culture. NGEI will be a collection of 5 monumental accessories that echoes Kanak artifacts from New Caledonia.
Inspired by Kanak artifacts, Loan tries to project the culture of her island in the future. Beyond reworking the aesthetical aspect of the traditions, Loan aims to carry the core values of New Caledonia and imagine how they would translate in the future through her minimal, raw, and authentic style.
The concept of NGEI is to exhibit the artifacts in direct contrast with their futuristic version. By juxtaposing ancestral pieces with their modernized echo, Loan re-questions evolution and the posterity of the traditions of the first civilizations.
