She walked through the dusk and became it. Lines curved around her, colors lit the path ahead. She is there, if you know how to look.

Exhibit No. 010 — The Figure in the Flame Boujad Region, Middle Atlas, Morocco, Contemporary
Curator’s Note This is a rug of movement and form. The central silhouette suggests a feminine figure—abstract but unmistakably alive. A dancer, a vessel, a flame. Its palette moves through terracotta, pomegranate, lavender, saffron, and black—layered like an atmosphere in motion. A visual poem, handwoven in wool.
As with all handwoven Boujad rugs, this piece will increase in value over time as color, texture, and story deepen with age.
