Save the Balls by Patrik Bundeli
from Biel, Switzerland
"These sculpures were made during, the very hard time, where I stopped smoking and was searching for a meaningful alternative... My solution was to buy a package of those balls and everytime I had the urge to smoke a cigarette, I would start painting one of those balls.
Since I was used to smoke A LOT, soon after a short while I had a very large number of those balls and were already filling them with cotton and glued them together to create "THE TOTEMS""

Initiated by 2much for the first time in 2008 the project "save the balls" is meant to provide a violence free and safe shelter for abused ping pong balls. Month after month, millions and millions of those poor balls are cruely abused by hard beatings from the ping pong-racket and
some balls have to endure gruesome smash-beats with up to 170 km/h, which deforms the ball up to 25% percent of its original size.
2much is dedicated to stop this unnecessary violence and begs you not to look the other way! Every ball bought from 2much is one more ball in safety.
Thanks 2 Behance
