Citizens of Sarajevo have collected more than 800 kilograms of PVC lids to create a mosaic of Bosnian Carpet, organized by the Green Art Association.
The total design and concept was made by academic graphic designer Alma Hrasnica Dervisevic, who at today’s presentation of Cepocilim (carpet made of lids) project in Sarajevo pointed out that more than 540 children and young people participated directly in this project.
In Cepocilim, “more than 25,000 plugs” have been used to make 30 meters square carpet.
“Space is phenomenal and we were able to experience the visual mosaics and the height, which was a special experience,” says Hrasnica-Dervišević adding that the carpet is made in the motif of the stylized Bosnian-style and will be set an exhibit on the public surface.
“We believe that its attractive, Bosnian style carpet has a phenomenal and very attractive background for the image of tourists, local and foreign, who visit Sarajevo. We also promote cultural heritage in an innovative way, as a blend of culture and ecology. With the exhibition, we want to make Sarajevo a symbol of an ecologically well-known city,” says Hrasnica-Dervišević.
