Woven

A carpet is one of the first points of contact in a person’s spatial and social relationships. It carries the traces of personal and collective memory, shaping the identities and sense of belonging of those who live upon it. A carpet is not just a floor covering; it is also a cultural archive and a time machine, telling a story with each knot.

Carpets provide an intimate space where families gather around the table, conversations take place, and precious memories accumulate. In this way, they make visible the depths of a person's inner world. For the communities that weave and use them, carpets have become a form of self-expression.

However, today, particularly in Gaza, the cities built by civilization, the homes and families that constitute those cities, are being destroyed—just like the carpets that symbolize those homes. While carpets continue to remind us of these deep connections in human history, they also persist as silent witnesses in the face of this devastation.
