Sappi 2018 Calendar - August Feature


Artwork, inspiration and artist
 


Inspiration:
 

Inspired by boxes and other forms of packaging created by Sappi, the purposeful juxtaposition of the gold leaf on top of everyday cardboard represents the ironies of life. Using packaging as canvas with young and culturally diverse girls linking their arms to embrace the circle of the world, there is symbolism through inspired growth and unity.
