Faig Ahmed enjoys traveling, to other places, or in his mind using mediation or visualization practices. His deconstructions of traditional Azerbejani rugs seem to be a form of time travel. More precisely, a sort of time travel donut, where ancient meets digital, and slides, oozes or pixellates according to the rules of Photoshop. These pieces feel like a perfect illustration of what many of us surface designers do every day–bring old textile traditions into the modern world, giving people a taste of times past but with a wink and nod from the present.
