Tulûat is about transforming and recording the common mind of the designer and the weaver into a notation – a process which the designer starts and the weaver completes without referring to any preset scheme.

The mind and the hand rids the object from patterns, knots and hidden in exchange for the freedom of colors and loose ended threads. This re-contextualization updates/redefines the relationship between the designer and the weaver.

Surplus material spontaneously finds new use (life) in this object, in an attempt to search new ways in sustainability. It is also about attributing the object with a quality of ‘another’ sense of locality and cultural sustainability where the rural and urban meets.
