ARTIST: Malena Guerrieri 

MATERIALS: Leather

METHODS: Hand-stitched using reclaimed leather remnants

STATEMENT

"These footballs are made from leather remnants archived in my family’s tannery in Argentina. They are materials that fell out of circulation but still carry memory, craftsmanship, and emotional weight. I’m interested in working with leather not only as the original material of football, but also as a surface where color, handwork, and identity intersect. Each ball reactivates something from a tradition that is slowly disappearing.”
