On July the 29 of 2017, my grandmother fainted at home on her carpet.
The souvenir of this encounter was a stain of blood. Today my grandmother feels better and she is having bread with honey and a bowl of light coffe every Morning. The stain stayed longer on the carpet, it is a mark in my head as a cross in the calendar. The 8 of March 2018 I decide to start to make a carpet using different techniques (soumak, plain weave, Persian knots).
I want to understand a past event that happened too fast and to understand how I will transform it into a new image.
