INTIMATE EXCHANGES
May you find happiness in the small intimate exchanges. These bars of soap, while unassuming and quiet, were each moulded differently. Like a lover’s chocolate box, each bar’s shape is unique, sculpted with a different touch, twist, turn and grasp. Their forms are quiet markers of their users’, sitting in between the mundane spaces of showering and the everyday surfaces of the skin. As you use each bar of soap, may you find small moments of intimacy as your hands curl curiously and your palms rest awkwardly along each bar—meeting a stranger’s touch with your own.

SORE LIMBS AND TIRED BONE
Between the rains of water are the moments of touch—bar to skin, hand to soap—we take for granted how the objects seem like extensions of our own bodies; curved bars hugging contours of our arms and bevelled surfaces cusping to skin. As you use these bars, I hope these fingered limbs and whittled bones remind you of your own in texture and form.

SLIVER LININGS
We all hold on a little too tightly; letting go is far harder. Perhaps that’s why so many cling on to the slivers of hope they have. This narrow space of yearning is one that is tired and worn from time. Just like the slivers you find here, each is a slender piece, kept far past its reasonable function. Its’ users have tenderly grazed every last inch, their strained effort evident in its remarkable thinness. I hope with this kit you can find solace with another’s touch.
