Historically the carpet is seen as containing or depicting the hopes and dreams of the maker for a better life, physically and metaphorically woven into the carpet. Through the long journey to complete this work, and through many failed starts and ends, weaving this carpet became a form of slow, repetitive, procrastination. It became a meditation hovering between two states of mind; my physical reality and an imagined space of were Iād rather be. The final work and the addition of the text after the completion of the carpet became a declaration of the works failure, and my efforts, which ultimately and unexpectedly achieved the original aim of the carpet by creating the possibility for hope, potential and personal resurrection.
