Sacred Rocks 2

Sacred Rocks 2 is a rectangular wool rug.‎The fusion of south Persian tribal aesthetics, Aborigine ‘soul’ paintings and contemporary artistic movements in particular Spatialism is at the heart of this collection created by Zollanvari Studio.‎ Rock art, which provides information about the nexus between human culture and the natural environment, and sacred geometry, often called ‘sacred architecture’ because it underlies everything and is woven into the fabric of all creation, are combined in the design of Sacred Rocks - a fusion that celebrates storytelling and the contemplative nature of art in weave.‎The circle is considered a symbol of unity and also infinity, without beginning or end, the ultimate geometric symbol.‎ As Ralph Waldo Emerson put it: “The eye is the first circle; The horizon which it forms is the second; and throughout nature this primary figure is repeated without end – a veritable metaphor for nature.‎” The fundamental characteristic of Art Nouveau is the asymmetrically undulating line, with a dynamic and energetic ending resembling a spearhead.‎ Combine this with the significance of circles in Aboriginal art and you have a cultural fusion rug design par excellence.‎
