About The Work
‘PRAGMA’ (TREE OF LOVE Rug series) based on real ‘Tree of Life’ Persian rugs, and Pragma love in the Bible. Pragma is a kind of practical love founded on reason or duty and one's longer-term interests. Sexual attraction takes a back seat in favour of personal qualities and compatibilities shared goals and making it work. In the days of arranged marriages, pragma must have been very common.
Tree of life rugs, also known as Tree rugs earn distinction as a representation of one of the most timeless religious symbols of human life, its use preceding Christianity and Islam. Ancient cultures throughout Europe and Asia view the tree of life as a link between man and heaven. Often, in Oriental rug producing areas, Tree of Life rugs are produced as prayer rugs. In Islam, the Tree of Life remains an important metaphor for the pathway between Heaven, Earth, and the underworld of Hell.
