Flags series from the “little Tibet” in Abruzzo
The Flag series represents the idea of condensing into a fabric the natural and emotional spaces one feels one belongs to or needs most. These flags are a tribute to the nomadic and multifaceted character of fabric, which has served several functions for humankind: wrapping, protecting, containing and representing.
The Flag series is also a tribute to the archaic nature of Abruzzo with its wide, still wild spaces that anthropologist Fosco Maraini described as Little Tibet. Flags are crafted by using silk, linen, hemp and Abruzzo-sourced organic wool from grazing sheep in the Campo Imperatore, an area at over 2000 metres of altitude.
