The weekends in the village are filled with people and animals strolling and enjoying the arrival of the season’s first warm breezes.

This cart is a popular mode of transportation and often doubles as a shop with merchandise in the back. We recently found ourselves driving behind one of these carts with a family sitting in the back. One of their children, a young boy, was flying a kite behind the cart.

Why Snow? At the time that I designed this rug I was reading Snow, by Orhan Pamuk and we were in the midst of an unprecedented winter. Working conditions were incredibly difficult in our new workshop and it seemed that no matter how hard we tried, we simply couldn’t find a way to be warm. This rug will always remind me of the search for beauty in times of struggle.
