Over the last 4 years En Shalla have worked on a project embroidering recycled food bags in and outside Marrakech, Morocco.

We work with recycled plastic bags that would have originally been used to carry industrial quantities of rice, couscous, flour and other commodity foods

The bags are hand embroidered weaving different materials through the plastic grid like squares on the outside of the sacs.  Due to the nature of the design and the way it is constructed it enables us to reproduce different patterns in a pixel like format on a blank canvas each season.
