✔Cuneiform Collection
One of the oldest scripts used by humans for writing is cuneiform. This script is written in the space between two lines. In designing this piece, I started by drawing letters and individual elements inspired by these two lines. These patterns may evoke a particular letter from a written language of ancient civilizations.
✔Azin Collection
Mirmola Soraya has executed this collection, which aims to meet modern space's need for color foundations. The spatial texture structure echoes the structure between carpet and kilim textures, presenting a novel appearance and hybrid form; its completely modern weight and structure have not been seen before in the Iranian carpet industry.
✔Crowned Tree Collection
Mirmola Soraya has drawn inspiration from marine plants in this work. At the top of this piece, a design resembling a sea nymph is depicted, reaching out to delicate branches, and these branches extend into floating, parallel, and rhythmic strands that extend down the frame. In the "Crowned Tree," Iranian patterns are designed with inspiration from African tribal paintings.
✔Rostam Collection
Rostam is the name of a carpet with dimensions of 200 by 300 centimeters. The background of this work is woven from wool and silk, and the design on it depicts the final scene of the seven trials of Rostam, showing a corner of the battle between Rostam and the Div-e Sepid (White Demon), woven using the carpet technique and with silk.
