Elena Redaelli's "Seabilia," a sculpture created from waste fabric from Sitip's production processes, will be on display at Sculpture by the Sea 2023 in Sydney, Australia. The work is a reminder of the fragility of the environment in the face of human activity.
Redaelli created "Seabilia" using waste Native-Cosmopolitan Kyoto fabric, a post-consumer recycled circular knit fabric composed of 89% recycled polyester (PLR), 11% elastane (EA), and weighing 240 grams. The fabric is Bluesign, GRS (Global Recycled Standard) and OEKO-TEX certified, attesting to Sitip's commitment to environmental responsibility and protection.
The sculpture is inspired by the tiny creatures that inhabit the deepest, least explored parts of the ocean. A place where the rhythm of life is marked by silence and obscurity, while waves and tides agitate the surface above. The life of the ocean, such a vast and imposing environment, is impacted every single day by human activity, slowly weakening its delicate balance.
Redaelli hopes that "Seabilia" will serve as a reminder of how precious yet extremely fragile the balance of nature is, and how humans must become more aware of the consequences of their actions.
