Folk works in collaboration with [French artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pierre-emmanuel-martin) Damien Poulain on the new Everything is Temporary project that is made to explore and challenge the [concept of home and belonging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-objects-we-live-by). It is translated through three unique flag designs to capture the idea.

It is also accompanied by an editorial shot by Will Cooper Mitchell - it continues on the overarching theme that the idea of home breaches beyond a home or a city, or country. it is more than a sense of where moments were lived and memories came to fruition. The duo aims to represent [simple textile objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-common-thread) with flags that are the embodiment of both inclusivity and unity told through colors, shapes, and inspiration.
