This piece is part of a limited edition series of 2 pieces featuring 200 knots per inch and a pile of 5 mm height. It takes 6 months for the production of each carpet.

Faberhama sees the carpet as a window on the world, a means of transition and cyclicity between departure and return, an imaginative experience beyond territorial and cultural boundaries, to reach a mythological space-time: the carpet, the journey, the dream.

Terra Incognita (“Unknown Land”) is research inspired by travel, intended as an exploration of distant territories and dreamlike experiences in order to receive a new consciousness.

In ancient cartography, the term 'terra incognita' identified unexplored areas, unknown and therefore feared, as in the common belief that they were inhabited by dragons and other fantastic beasts. These beasts, as well as the morphology of the lands, were represented on the maps.

Ouroboros, a dragon-snake that devours itself, represents the cyclic nature of all things. Symbol of introspection and thoughtful thinking, Ouroboros can be associated with all those things that, after having reached their end, start again, in an eternal return.
In the rug, the knotted pattern first gradually reveals itself, accompanied by bright scales in bamboo silk, then dissolves under a long fringe and in the end it progressively redefines itself towards a new beginning, sculpting a circular path on a soft wool mantle.
