One of the central themes addresses the vast portion of the ocean, over sixty percent of the Earth’s water, that exists beyond national jurisdiction.
A no man’s land that silently calls for collective responsibility.
Floating elements and aquatic creatures animate a powerful landscape of unique and vibrant colors, evoking both beauty and loss.
The imagery oscillates between foreboding and hope, suggesting the urgency of change while leaving space for renewal. The creative process reflects this tension.
High temperatures alter territories, generating distorted and unfamiliar visions. Cracks, fragmentations, stressed pathways, and cuts—manually incised into leather surfaces, become the starting point of the work. These physical gestures are later reinterpreted digitally and finally transformed, with complete expressive freedom, into large handknotted rugs.
Through Sahrai Milano’s craftsmanship, the rug becomes a sustainable object: durable, repairable, and made to endure, in opposition to the logic of disposability.
Echoes of disco music surface unexpectedly, revealing golden, smeared jeans resting on a wounded earth marked by signs and scars.
A new visual language emerges, ancient in its symbolism, yet deeply embedded in contemporary suffering. The land is presented as a place of belonging, not ownership, and therefore as something that must be protected.
A rug that tells the story of the Ocean. Conceived as a surface to be crossed and explored, it invites visitors to slow down, to pause, and to become conscious of a fragile and ever-changing seascape. The rug evokes Ocean depths through organic textures and aquatic transparencies, unfolding in a fluid movement, a dance in deep waters where fleeting glimmers of light alternate with moments of shadow. The exhibition space is transformed into a submerged landscape, suspended between memory and future. It reflects on the relationship between humanity and nature, encouraging awareness of how each individual life leaves an imprint on the entire ecosystem.
