After coming back from my trip to Srinagar what made me mostalgic were the beautiful handcrafted carpets.Taking inspiration those beautifully hand knotted carpets and handwoven shawls of Kashmir, this project was undertaken to extract motifs and explore repeat patterns.
Above are some of the images that were taken as color and motif inspiration.
