Spiderwebs often go unnoticed in hidden corners. Yet when they are discovered, such as in the living room, they are usually unwanted and are swiftly removed. In her work, artist Marta Margnetti often emphasizes elements that are viewed as waste in living spaces. “By doing so, I’m trying to give them back their value. For me, cobwebs symbolize the connection between people and non-people and our shared habitat,” explains the creative from Ticino. The interplay of recycled paper and the symbolism of the cobweb also highlights the delicate balance that connects all life forms and represents the topic of ecological sustainability. The design ties in with the collection strategy of Swiss Post’s commitment to art, which conveys current topics that are equally important to Swiss society and Swiss Post.
