Embroidery becomes a way to slow down, observe, reconnect with those materials that pass through our hands every day without a trace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inspired by memories of her grandmother, who was able to transform simple textiles into objects full of value, the author applies the same care to everyday scraps: tea bags, makeup remover wipes, rubber gloves. In stitch after stitch, what is ephemeral is charged with new meaning and questions whether an object&#8217;s value comes from its function or the attention we give it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project challenges the traditional idea of luxury as material wealth. &#8220;Worth of Wasted Time&#8221; suggests that the luxury of the future may be the possibility-and the freedom-to employ our time in unproductive but deeply intentional gestures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If time is the most precious resource we possess, can the care devoted to what we consider useless turn it into something new and meaningful?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project, along with all the finalist works from the <strong>&#8220;Normal is Extraordinary&#8221;<\/strong> international contest <strong>,<\/strong> will be on display at the <strong>MAXXI Corner<\/strong> from <strong>Dec. 5 to 8<\/strong> (free admission).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1TxDQ1EfxHhLiEv_EDREdjpTDmnMILNMQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Download PDFs<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":5367,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"class_list":["post-5501","progetto","type-progetto","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/progetto\/5501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/progetto"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/progetto"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
