Sappi 2018 Calendar - June Feature


Artwork, inspiration and artist
 


 

Inspiration:
 

Through the representation of viscose material and the visual movement of flowing fabric, we see a beautiful woman holding a seedling – symbolising the Sappi Tree of Life. Inspired by the sprouting of a seed to form a growing tree, this seedling not only inspires the growth of hope around the world but also speaks to the women who are the universal ‘Carers of Hope’.
