Mine Burckin x Gentag

As an artist based in Copenhagen, my creative journey has always been rooted in a deep appreciation for both art and sustainability. In collaboration with Gentag, a brand dedicated to reducing waste in the fashion industry, I had the opportunity to give a new life into vintage shirts using eco-conscious practices.

​

Gentag’s commitment to upcycling deadstock and surplus materials aligned with my vision of merging art with sustainability. For this project, I hand-painted two unique designs on vintage shirts, each with a symbolic connection to nature and the city I now live in. The first features an apple and apple tree, representing the beauty and abundance of autumn, while the second celebrates Copenhagen through an elegant swan motif.

​

This collaboration not only gives new meaning to discarded textiles but also highlights the importance of mindful creation in the fashion world. Every piece tells a story of both artistic expression and environmental responsibility, offering an opportunity to wear art while supporting a sustainable future.
