Image Statement: The inspiration for these fabrics is my very first pictorial memory: the colorful kilim carpet in my childhood room. On it, I began to travel the world and the fields of color illuminated by the wandering sunlight from which the fantasy worlds rise, to and to search for them, for the wild suns, the colorful countries and cities, the animals, the primeval forests and the other stars.
