Conflict
Balancing the Shadows
In Conflict rug from the Barrier Collection, inner conflict is materialized through a striking tactile and visual juxtaposition between rigid geometric forms and the unpredictability of the weave. The stark horizontal and vertical lines represent our rational resistances and the pre-established paths that often limit our potential, while the deep black blocks and irregular cut-outs symbolize the emotional surges, passions, and shadow self that clash with the structures we impose on ourselves. It is a work that captures the precise moment of struggle, the apparent chaos that precedes growth, where different parts of our identity fight to find a new equilibrium between who we are and who we have the courage to become.
