KAPAS by SukkhaCitta pop-up display in John Hardy Boutique & Gallery at Seminyak. Text reads: KAPAS. Gaji Village, Java. Regenerative cotton. KAPAS means cotton in Indonesian. Each piece in this farm-to-closet collection is grown regeneratively to heal Mother Earth. Reviving the soil's natural ability to absorb carbon from the atmosphere through our Ibus' ancestral Tumpang Sari wisdom. Taking 180 days to grow, spin, weave, and stitch. Healing Mother Earth, Healing Ourselves.

KAPAS Installation by SukkhaCitta in John Hardy Boutique & Gallery at Seminyak. Photographs of Indonesian indigenous cotton farmers are plastered on the wall. Text reads: Regenerative Farming. Tumpang Sari. Regenerative agriculture, locally known as Tumpang Sari is found to be one of the most effective solutions to mitigate climate change. In Indonesia, they have been applied by our ancestors for centuries. With 25 million hectares of degraded land in the Archipelago alone, we see a potential in growing circular materials through regenerative farming as a nature-based climate solution.

Text reads: KAPAS PROCESS. 180 Days to Craft. The production of handmade cotton kain (cloth) is beyond a local commodity, but rather as a long lost tradition, an artwork, a ritual. Preserving this craft means innovating new designs and regenerating new stories for Women to share and be heard. Making a living above labor, but as Master Artisans, as changemakers.

KAPAS Installation by SukkhaCitta in John Hardy Boutique & Gallery at Seminyak. A white polyester dress shirt with a red tag and a white regenerative cotton shirt with a white tag exhibited side by side. Text reads: More than 52% of clothes are made of plastic. Emits high carbon dioxide during its production. Polyester can't biodegrade, clogging landfills and polluting our ocean with microplastics. Microplastics find their way back to us, damaging our lungs and stomachs. In contrast, nature cycles and recycles. Clothes that are made of plants return to the soil to start again: regenerates. Decomposition is nature's way of turning expired life into new life. Nothing pollutes, nothing is wasted.
