A visual language of motifs is starting to form.
I searched for meanings and added my own interpretations to the 6 main motifs with some help from the community. In this section I share three ornaments I designed to tell the stories of Circassian's past, present, and future. You can also find a section filled with ornaments designed by participants in the workshops I gave.
Using the same motifs vocabulary, we design our own stories today.
3 sleeves I designed for my Fabricademy 22/23 final project.
Connected to nature.
The ornament starts with a sun on top, a woman in the middle reaching with her hands to earth with fire in her soul, and Earth blessing us (plant motifs).
