▍Sustainable
The dye baths (pool of water use for coloring fabric) are used to water the artists’ in-house gardens. When used in the right amount, leftover dye baths can complement the growth of certain plants. If not gardening, the dye baths are neutralized and released. At any point these are not released into water bodies or to any place where it can harm or destabilize the environment or soil.
