SAQAFAT

The Concept: Cultural Insurgency

1. The Rising Tide
The foundation of the piece is the intricate Persian carpet weave, rendered in deep, midnight blues and charcoals. he Vertical Surge: Instead of a clean border, the pattern explodes upward in jagged, liquid strikes.

To wear this is to acknowledge that you are part of an ongoing patternone that started centuries ago and is still being woven today.
