Taiwan - Skea - Paper Art

Add to Cart Download

Yean, founder of Skea which specializes in custom made paper gifts for the spirits - in her showroom near Taipei.

Buddhists believe in the neverending cycle of life, death, and reincarnation. With consumerism taking its toll on our society, interdimensional love has also been redefined. Back in the days, it sufficed to send the deceased loved ones a stack of hell money or perhaps a slip of paper with imprinted clothing (including a scissors icon in case the size doesn’t fit). But nowadays it seems incredibly important to upgrade to fancier donations for the ancestral spirits, and furthermore to ensure they can keep up with technological trends in their afterlife. Thus, people buy all sorts of lavish gifts made of paper mâché to honor the dead, not necessarily for the wandering spirits, as those are already appeased with the Pudu rites hold for them during Ghost Month. Besides the funerals, biweekly Bai-Bai tributes, and individual death anniversaries, the peak season for producers to sell their 3D paper imitations is the annual Tomb Sweeping Day Qingming.

Skea is distributing meaningful and eco-friendly paper products via webshop all over Asia. The product range includes luxurious mansions with swimming pools, entertainment stuff such as entire discos, ice cream parlors, sports gear, plus every means of transport imaginable – sports cars, jets, bicycles, motorbikes. Skea also offers imitated electronic gadgets such as cameras, or phones and tablets where even the apps are designed by Skea. There’s watches, jewelry, razors, perfumes, sunglasses, hats, the latest fashion (formal, traditional and casual dresses) – basically everything needed to dress swag and live comfy in the afterlife.

Smaller presents like the latest sPhone 8plus (with 80 GB spiritual memory) is available for about USD 100, whereas an entire villa with all the trimmings goes for about USD 4.500
