This series positions the carpet as a primary visual and cultural artifact within the urban environment. By isolating the carpets in a frontal composition, the work recontextualizes these objects, transforming them from mere commodities into complex visual and cultural signifiers. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns become a microcosm of the broader urban fabric, reflecting the intersection of commerce, culture, and public space. The absence of human figures shifts the focus to the materiality and aesthetics of the carpets, inviting a contemplation of their production, use, and symbolic significance within the specific context of Kashgar and Xinjiang. The series ultimately challenges the viewer to consider the city as a layered text, where seemingly mundane elements hold rich potential for interpretation and meaning.
