Sahli’s three-dimensional embroidery sculptures and installations are made from recovered plastic waste, which she envelopes with silk thread. Carried by a universal dimension, Sahli’s artwork is immersed with the theme of nature, which is embedded seemingly in the everyday. Her artwork represents the need for durable progressions in development and also the future of the planet. 

Sebhatu makes use of electronic waste, renowned as one of the most difficult materials to dispose of and recycle. In light of raising awareness on anthropogenic climate change, he manipulates the end of a “useful life” of electronics, especially in an age of planned obsolescence, revitalizing all of its parts into intricate everlasting artworks. The artist’s trademark techniques become a vehicle for change by confronting the viewer with the reality of our digital age.
