Catalogue Note
"Tradition is one of the main factors creating society as a self-regulated system. Changes in non-written rules happen under the influence of modern global culture... The carpet is a symbol of invincible tradition of the East, it’s a visualization of an undestroyable icon. Slight changes in the form of a carpet dramatically change its structure and perhaps make it more suitable to modern life." FAIG AHMED From the artist's statement, 2013.
