Beyond the horizon
she draws the fabric through her fingers,
weaving in and out; a mosaic of sunlight, soil, story.
As the thread sings colours and promises of ancient generations,
her hands instinctively move – creating fabric, stitch, pattern, texture.
Exploring moonlit markets and hidden workshops to discover treasures yet untold,
our hands instinctively reach – feeling fabric, stitch, pattern, texture.
Retracing their origins, we reimagine ancestral techniques in subtle new silhouettes,
bold modern lines drawn from a mosaic of ancient cultures.
From today’s skylines, reawaken sunlight, soil, story; now alive,
running through your fingers – that delicate fabric,
intricate stitch, bold pattern, rich texture.
Weave your own story –
beyond the horizon.
